Railroads to Make improvements and to

Railroads to Make improvements and to
Give Quicker Service.
A Frightening prospect is noted for
the future of Cape May. 1t is claimed
that thus far during the present season
business on both the Pennsy lvania ard
the Reading routes has considerably in
creased, 10 fact, both roads have found
it expedient TO put on through veati-
bule trains. t,.H 3
The Reading, since its purchase Of
the trolley road running to Cape May
Point, has been developing its system,
and preparing for what is believed will
be brilliant future for Gage May.
The company has constructed large
freighthouse.
The greatest drawback to Cape May
has been the time 1t took to travel
from Philadelphia to that point. The
time has been reduced to 95 minutes,
but if the plans that are under discus
sion by the railroads are put in force,
from 10 to 10 minutes will be taken off
this time when the season Of 1902
comes around.
