The result was not a surprise. nj
though II has been known that Pa-esi

DON'T WANT FREIGHT
HOUSE REMOVED
Merchants Make Strenuous
Objections to Changing
1t Across Tracks

Following the report that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company would remove it's
freight depot from the present site at
Fourth and Pine streets comes a strenu-
GUS kick from the merchants Of Whining
ton.
According to the report the freight house
will be located on the site now occupied
by the car shops between the railroad
tracks and the Christiana and Third and
Fourth streets.
AS soon as this report went out the
principal mercantile people began a cru
sade against such a move, declaring they
did not want the station. placed across the
tracks.
They started a petition and Ct was
signed by every merchant of any impont-
ance in the city asking the railroad COM
pany not to remove the station across the
tracks. One of the principal objections
was the delay caused by shutters running
across the street and blocking traffic.
The railroad officials look at the matter
from another standpoint. that OF the
growth of Wilmington, and they claim the
city is growing rivcrward and that in a
few years most of the manufacturing es.
Establishments WIN be on the river front
and the improved buildings and other IA.
cilities would more than compensate IN,
merchants on this side of the tracks. bu
the petition is slightly premature, as tn,
company has not decided where It will To-
cate the freight station, but that It VIII
be on Fourth street is almost certain OF
account Of the advantages it has ovei
other thoroughfares in the city regarding
width, light ard adaptability for heav,
hauling.
The site Of the new freight depot vii
not be decided upon until after the com
plction of tllc elevated road and lhe fin
lshins OF the passenger station.
