RAIL REMOVAL.
Committee on Railroads Decides
to Ask City Council For Ex-
tentiOn Of Time.

The committee on railroads met yes
terday afternoon and discussed the
matter of removing the rails in India
street. about which there has been SO
much talk.
Ii was decided To ask the city coun-
ell 10 grant an extension of time for
the removal of the rails and the COM
mittee will recommend an additional
delay OF six months.
This action was taken, II Is under
stood, tecouse the business houses now
using the rails have sent two petit
tions urging that the removal or the
spur tracks will be detrimental 10
their interests.
One OF the firms most directly inter-
ested is the Providence Engineering
Company. formerly the Rice q Sar-
gent Engine Company, at 521 South
Main street They employ about 800
hands, with an annual pay roll of $780,
600 that is spent for the most part
right here.
III their spur track is removed they
will transfer the plant to Philadelphia,
MIR. Rice says, where they can get
better facilities for less money.
The reason they insist upon the rails
remaining is that their product is so
heavy that IL cannot be properly hand
led on trucks. but II Is easily trans
ported by rail

ed To recommend the granting OF the
Union Railroad Company's petition Tor
