Since the Street and Sewer Depart.
ment gave the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company the right TO erect an over
head system in this city, there has
been much discussion as to the prob
able location of the new passenger de-
pot. Many persons have contended
that it Will be located at Front and
Market streets. but possibility OF
such has been driven to the wall by
the official announcement that the
company desires only those properties
between French and Market streets
which extend from Front street to the
railroad
This would indicate that the now
station will be built somewhere be-
tween French street and the east side
of Market street, in all probability be-
tween French and King streets.
II has been understood for some
time that the company desires proper

that the new depot will be erected
