Want Trolley Cars.

An effort will soon be made to induce
the Wilmington City Railway Company
to extend its lines to Newport and Stan
ton. Residents of Newport and Stanton
are preparing petition for that purpose
which will be submitted to the railway
company.
1t is understood that the Wilmington
City Railway Company has the right
according to its charter to run seven miles
from the city limits. Stanton and New
port would be good paying section for
the trolley road. The Wilmington road
can cross railroad tracks at grade.
Should the road be extended line be-
tween Newport and New Castle will be
built. There are over one-hundred New
Castle people who work in the shops
along the west yard. 1t would be more
