The work of double tracking the
Delaware railroad south from Clayton
is being pushed forward with all
possible dispatch in order to be ready
for the coming fruit season. The one
track system, which is now in service,
with the heavy traffic, is not sufficient
to meet the needs of the railroad
people and extra men are being placed
at work. The contract is in the hands
of the B. NJ. and J. F. Shanley Com
pany of Jersey City, the same com
pany of which George NJ. Richards of
Smyrna is connected. Ninety eight
italian labOrers were sent to Clayton
Monday. The greater portion of the
men recently arrived in this country
and they had their padrones with them.
The number will be increased to 300.
The double track system extends
from the Christiana bridge to Clayton
and it will be extended to Lewes with
in few months.
