10 MORR PASSEN
FOR employees
Pennsylvania Railroad Will
Require Payment for
Transportation

From the headquarters CT the Penn
5ylvania railroad orders have been is
sued Co stop the custom OF issuing
asses 90 tne COmpanys employees.
The men employed i'm the big Penn
sylvania railroad shops at Pitcairn are
TO be required to pay So a month COM
mutation. and the same move is to be-
applied throughout the entire system.
3 he Pennsylvania management takes
the ground that FREQ passes issued To
employees are in the nature 81 extra
compensation, and therefore contrary
10 business principle Some of tho
largest Western railroads have stopped
giving passes to employees and corre-
spOndence has been under way for Sow
eral months besween railroad presi-
dents East and West looking to a gen
eral agreement abolishing or greatly
restricting free transportation to rail
road employees and the members Of the
families of railroad officers.
Inquiry was made in this city to-day
among railroad men as to what would
be the probable effect Of the new order
Superintendent w. n. Barnard is out Of
town, and could not be seen. His CHIEF
clerk. Roscoe +. Baylis, said that he
knew nothing Of the subject, as nc
word CT any change had been received
here to his knowledge. In conversation
an official of the company did say
however: Il have heard nothing CT the
order, but am not surprised at It, as
the privilege has bsen abused. So tal
have had no instructions regarding
passes.
For some time past II has been Gus
tomary for shop employees Of the com
pany to purchase communication tickets
at reduced rates, the amount paid be-

HARBOR WORK
Congressman Works Indeiati-
gabIy in That Direction
APPROPRIATION IS IN SIGHT
Col. RAYMOND Recommends $4,000
Which Money Will Be
Allowed

Although the work OF deepening the
Christiana river has been suspended
because of lack or funds. it will be
resumed at an early date and every cf-
iort pun forth To make the stream the
waterway WilmingtOn's manufactures
would have IL be. This is the informa-
ton given out by Congressman /. II.
BAH, who, after, having worked inde-
augably for the Improvement OF tho
nan Dor, has icen assured that Delaware
shall have such an appropriation as
nu' only viii admitOf the deepening uf
the creek, but the improvement Of the
river front as well. The sum will like
~ be $4,000, that being the amount
recommended by Lieutenant Colonel
Raymond, who now is in charge Of river
Noik for the district. Tho EXPENSE ID
be incurred by the deepening
of the Delaware liver OF tho
city Will come out OF tho
general appropriation for Delaware
river Improvement, thanks to Colonel
Raymond.
The subject Of Christiana creek inn
pfovement has caused manufacturers
along the creek some concern of late.
for, with the closing Of the United
States engineers Office here, came the
belief that IL was the forerunner OF a
general abandonment Of creek improve
ment in this State. The recommenda-
, ton of Col Raymond and assurances
received by Congressman Ball, prove
10 the contrary, however. and soon all
the States business interests. and par
ticularly those OF Wilmington, will
show renewed activity in consequence
OF promised water facilities. which will
make the port an exceedingly profitable
one.
While I'm consultation recently with
Colonel Raymond relative to the sub
! ject OF Chrstiana river improvement
Congressman Ball learned that the gov
ornment is opposed, In measure. to
spending money on the waterway so
long as the sewage OF this city Is
emuiied into A. This question OF city
drainage therefore, is one which the
city must solve anCw. That 10 has been
given no concern is neglect OF mu-
nlcipal interests that has been costly.
Despite the fact that the system of
drainage has not been changed. tho
work OF deepening the creek Is to be
continued.
YES We are to be fully IA we'll
treated in this subject of harbor i'm
provemont as we ever were" said the
congressman. Colonel Raymond has
assured me that he Is doing all he can
! I'm Delaware's interests i'm this respect
and. as / have received assurance from
other sources that the desired appro-
priation Is to be allowed. there is
every indication that the creek will be
deepened and otherwise improved.
Moreover. Colonel Raymond assures me
tnqt an the fats Off the city are TO be
filled IN and that the bar of Cherry
Island IS 10 be dredged out This will
give MS a magnificent water front; such
one in fact. that ought to extend tho
