Big Improvements There
That Chester is about to become an
important railroad centre there seems
to be no doubt; that the Pennsylvania
railroad shops and round houses will
be erected in the vicinity of the city
proper along Concord road is said to
be a fact. Through Contractor Charles
A. Simms & Company, OF Philadelphia,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
is negotiating for the purchase of con-
siderable land in this vicinity. The
properties over which a deal is trying
to be made are those of John r. Flow
er, part of which has been purchased,
and an adjoining farm of George
Senior. mention of which was made in
the Chester Times n few days ago.
The contractors give out the idea
that the land is sought for the dirt
alone which Is upon il, as the railroad
company wishes it to fill in the en-
bankments of the elevated road, but
Others think they want the land for
new shops and round houses. The To-
cation along the Baltimore Central Di-
vision Of the road at the intersection
or concord avenue is a most desirable
one and easy of access for almost any
use the company would wish. The
ground is above the tracks and after
being cleared off and the thousands of
tons OF dirt used for the first purpose
proposed. the site would be- a most de-
sirable one for the foundries and
shops
The price paid to John R. Flower
for the twenty acres already pur-
chased was $1,000 per acre and Mr..
Senior has been offered still more for
his farm on the south and on the north
sides of the Baltimore Central tracks.
Mr. Senior stated this morning that
while the deal had not as yet been
closed with the company, it would be
in day or two, and a surprise was
Awaiting the people.
