a local correspondent says: THE
old gravity road just east of this town
that has not been used for some time
will soon be in operation. The track
is being widened to the standard guage
and 1t is said that within n short time
coal will be hauled over it. Rumor
has it that the Delaware and Hudson
intends to make it short route to
Honesdale for all coal south of Jer-
myn. BY going up the old gravity
road and connecting with the Homes
dale branch at Bushwick and thence
to Honesdale, about five miles is saved
At present all coal going to Honesdale
must go first to the Carbondale yard.
1t is also rumored that there will be
railroad yard somewhere between
this town and Carbondale.
