Tunkhannock. Dec. 21.--This weeks
issue Of tho New Age has the follow
ing to say relative to the reported
widening Of the gauge of the Montrose
branch Of the Lehigh Valley:
About sixty Thousand ties Of stand
ard length have been shipped in from
Canada recently and piled up in the
railroad yard here. Gangs Of men have
been busy this week loading them upon
the cars and they are taken up the
| Montrose branch and scattered along
the line from Lake Carey northward.
ut is said that when spring opens the
work Of widening the gauge of the
road will be begun and pushed rapidly
through This means n lot of work, for
cuts ana fills will have to be widened,
sharp curves Strengthened, and gen.
eral overhallling of the roadbed.
Whether any extension of the road be-
yond Montrose is contemplated could
not be learned"
The project mentioned above has been
advanced a number of times by parties
interested in the old Montrose road,
and some four or five years ago, when
the road was under the suoerinte nd
ency of Asa p. Blakslee. a third rail
was laid as far as Lake Carey. and an
effort made to popularize the latter
place as summer resort If the VAL
ley people mean to widen the gauge
clear through to Montrose. they must
have In view connection at that place
with some point north or east, as the
traffic between here and Mortrose
would hardly pay the expense.
