RAILROAD
EXTENSION

An effort is to be made by the Boar,
Of Trade to get an eytcnton Of the
Lnndenhurg branch OF the b. Il o. Pail
road now controlled by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to Pomroy, distanc,
of nineteen miles from LaElenburg. tn,
matter was brought before the board at
last nights meeting which was the first
held since June, they having been discon
tinued during the summer months.
The subject was brought to the at
tention of the Board of Trade by John
S. ROssell at the request of Oliver l..
Bell. who for number of years has been
a postal clerk on the Landenburg branch.
Mr.. Bell stated that it was rich country
from Landenburg to Pomroy and the
people in that section would like to trade
in Wilmington if they could get the rail
road facilities. AT present there is no
railroad facilities from Pomroy to Viii
mington within day.
Mr.. Bell said that ne had talked with
many prominent citizens of that section
and that they were all anxious for an
extension of the road. He stated that at
present train leaves this city at $40
in the morning for Landrnburg arriving
there at 9.45 o'clock. That train then re-
mains at Landcnburg until l o'clock in
the afternoon when it returns to this
city. The extension could be made with
but little expense as the above mentioned
train could easily run to Pomroy and
back to LandeIburg by l o'clock, which
is the present schedule.
Members of the Board were very favor
ably impressed with the idea. Henry
+. Pickles stated that years ago this
city used to have large trade with that
section of the country. Mr.. Rosscll
moved that the secretary communicate
with the proper officials of the Pennsyi-
vana Railroad Company in regard to
getting the road extended and also the
citizens of that vicinity to get them to
cooperate with the board. The motion
was unanimously adopted.
At the request of Mr.. Rossell the board
gave permission for the recently APP
pointed refUrm committee of ten to
hold its meeting in the boards rooms.
Resolutions Of regret were adopted on
the denth of Calvin l. Swaync.
