In the matter of the opposition of the
Post Office Department to the mainten-
ance of rural free delivery routes for
which turnpike tolls are charged Con-
gresham Cassel has received definite in
formation from the Postmaster General.
Congressman Cassel stated that he found
that there is no intention on the part of

with the routes already established,
whether they pass over turnpikes or not,
nor is there any intention of changing
any contracts which the department has
with turnpike companies. What action
may be taken with reference to routes
asked for in the future, which will pass

The new line of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road across Lancaster County, from At
glen to the Columbia and Port Deposit
line, will be the longest straight line that
the Pennsylvania system has in the State.
On the east of the line for eight miles
the road will be perfectly straight and on
the west end the conditions are almost
the same. On the whole line there will
be one mile of over fifteen feet grade,
which will be in striking contrast with
the heavy grades of Mountville and Gap.
An engine on the new road will be able
to move trains OF immense size. The
line was projected to avoid the Gap and
Mountville grades and to permit large
train movement.
