Two needs in the harbor entrance

conical lantern buoy little above the

the westerly side of Cross Ledge shoal
at the elbow. known as Elbow Ledge

PROPERTIES ARE VALUABLE
Business Men Say Business Houses Worth
m Asked for Them

The simmons. Valentine nd Armour
in West Front street which
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
now desires are the only valuable ones
along the line OF the elevated road. All
the others are rookeries, which have
long been an eyesore to the people oi
the city. and which We're sold at prices
with their value.
II is held by many persons that the
business men whose properties are now
desired by the railroad company. are
justified in refusing to dispose of them
at the prices offered They are paying
Investments. and as such are worth iar
more To their owners than the railroad
company cares TO give for them. To
pay for them at the same ratio as they
have paid for the shanties will always
