The plan of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road to establish q double. decker
station at Thirty third and Market
streets, to take the place OF the present
stations at Powelton avenue and South

the Sohuylkill at that point, tho
western embankment having been com.
pleted last February.
The announcement is that the two
new bridges will be erected this year.
Their construction will give the Penn
sylvania seven trackways across the
6chuylkill. The plans call for bridge
TO the north of the present structure to
be used exclusively on the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore
division, and the one on the south for
the New York division. The plan
calls for an extension of the trackway
from Broad Street Station, parallel
with Market street, to Thirty third,
and the erection OF great station at
that point. South Street Stntion ia to
be practically abandoned, although it
may be used for few local trains.
Through Washington, Baltimore and
New York trains are to be run to the
new station and not into Broad street.
