SALE OF A RAILROAD
DISPOsAB or THE DELAWARE
RIVER ROAD is GOVERNED BY
THE DUPONTS.

Pennsgrove, Oct. AUST what dis
position is to be made Of the Delaware
River railroad is a matter receiving
considerable attention. The railroad
extends from Woodbury. to Penns-
grove,a distance OF about twenty miles,
running through one of the best truck
ing sections of New Jersey. and touch
ing the towns of Thorofare, Paulsboro,
Gibbstown, Bridgeport and Pedricks-
town. The road has never been con-
sidered a financial success, either, and
In the past two or three years the sale
of the road has been rumored several
times.
It is a we'll known fact that the Du-
Points, who furnish a great deal of its
freight traffic, practically own the en-
tire road, and from information re.
ceived from a man well known in rail.
road circles IL looks as though the road
would fall into the hands Of the Read
ing Railway Company. Some foul
years ago a survey was made for an
extension from the Reading system al
| Gloucester to Woodbury., which, It /:
said, II constructed, would give an cut
let for the Delaware river road by way
/ Of South Woodbury. to the Blackwoo,
branch at Gloucester City, and theme,
to the Reading Terminal at Kaighn.
Point In speaking Of this proposed
extension, it was stated that If such ;
move was made by the Reading moth
Ing would be made public until worl
on the extension was commenced, az
the entire matter would rest solel,
with the Reading officials and thl
Messrs. DUPONT.
