The Lancaster Inquirer has the follow
ing to say considering the railroad i'm
provements along tho Susquehanua
river:
Residents along the Susquehanua
river from Columbia to Washington
Borough and on the river islands are
alarmed over the announcement that the
Pennsylvania railroad proposes to con-
struct portion of its new freight line
about eighty feet ont into the river. Ac-
cording to the plans, the road at WASH
ington Borough and for some distance
above will extend into the river about
sixty.fo feet from the centre of the
Columbia & Port Deposit track, and an
additional twenty feet will be required
for a retaining wall or embankment.
This, the residents say. will practically
close at various points the water course.
greatly increasing the danger from ice
gorges. This will be practically the case
at the group of islands opposite Wash
ington Borough. A number of the own
ers of island property hold deeds from the
state authorities and may seek to enjoin
the company from obstructiug the river.
The constructing of the new line will
be a big undertaking. A trestle work
extending out into the river will be built
from below Washington Borough to Col
umbia, and upon this will be laid tenn
porary track for the purpose of filling in
the river line. About a thousand men
are now at work.
