DELAYING RAIL-
ROAD WORK

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany SAYS it has not awarded the
contract for building the new Yards
at Edge Moor and viii not give it
out until the Street and Sewer
Commission take some action on the
e'evated plans, as there will be no
need for a new yard if the tracks
are not elevated.
The plans tor the Edge Moor
yard are said to have been ready
for some time. They provide for
the best equipped yard in this acc
ton. 1t will be similar to ,hs Ell.
mira yard which is known as "self
shifting" Plans have also been
prepared for the new sdops at
Todd's Cut and for several other
improvements.
The estimate Of $1,000, 900 for the
improvements which the railroad
company expects to make in this
city is considered low. Competent
engineers saw that more than one
half Of this amount will be required
to built the elevated structure and
to pay Tor the land used. In addi-
ton a new station Is to be erected,
the freight station remodelied and
two new one built, the new shops
constructed at Todd's Cut and the
new freight yard at Edge Moor
constructed
The expenditure OF so much
money means Increased>.work and
increased business in Wilmington.
The railroad company has now
agreed to all the changes request
ed by the CITY engineers, and it is
hoped that final action will be taken
bv the department on Tuesday
next.
