NEW SHOPS WILL
BOOM EDGE MOOR
Expected That Small City
Will Spring Up
EMPLOYEES MAY MOVE THERE
Ii Is Believed That The improvements
Will Result in Trolley Connections
TO New Town

Railroad men are of the opinion that
the improvements which the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company will make at
Edge Moor will result in a small city
springing up there in a short time.
Not only will large number of men be
employed there during the construction OF
the buildings, but following their compile
ton the number of employees that viii be
located there permanently will be several
hundred. The fact that the passenger
and freight shops are to be located there
will undoubtedly result in many oftheem
ployes moving to that place in order that
they may be near their work. Then, too,
the fact that the roundhouse and freight
yards will be built there will result in
many OF the railroad men seeking homes
in that section, and boardinghouses and
restaurants are expected 10 spring up in
abundance.
Citizens Of Edge Moor anticipate d
great boom, and there is every reason t.
believe that the scene of the new i'm
provements will be nourishing com
munity.
1t is the opinion Of many persons tha
some Of the local trolley companies vii
build an extension to the place followin;
the completion of the work there.

COMPANY'S LETTER
WAS ACCEPTED
David ". Lemon Objects to
Elevated Tracks in the
City

Street and Sewer Directors this morn
ing received from the Board of Trade the
letter from Charles Il. Pugh, second vice
president OF the Pennsylvania railroad,
in which he assured the former body that
the company would erect shops in the vi
cnity Of Wilmington. The communica-
ton. being acceptable to the board, was
ordered recorded ON the minutes.
A letter was also received from Daniel
w. Taylor, secretary of the Board of
Trade thanking the department for its
uniform courtesy extended TO the board
during the discussion upon the subject OF
elevated tracks.
At the request of Mayor George NJ.
Fisher, lamp was ordered placed in
Sixth street between Pine and Spruce
streets.
David w. Lemon read 10 the directors
an original article upon the evils OF the
department i'm granting the elevated fran
chise The communication was listened
TO attontively.
George b.. Ward. president of the
Board of Health came before the direc-
tors and asked that they lay a sewer i'm
Guycr avenue and there were a number
of properties along that street whicl
were not connected. Water, Mr.. Ward
said. ran across the sidewalks and created
a nuisance. The directors informed him
that the department had no jurisdiction
over the street and that Mr.. Guyer, who
owned a greater portion Of IT,. objected IA
q sewer being laid. The board held that
the proper course for the Health Depart
ment to pursue would be to order prop
crty owners to connect with the nearest
sewer which would mean that they mus
either go into Ninth or Tenth streets
This would probably induce the owner
TO request the department to place
tsewer in Guyer avenue, as it would h'
less expensive to them.
