MERCHANTS DBCRY
THE TROLLEY DELAY

Impatience, growing stronger from
day to day, finds vent in forcible eX-
pressions of prominent Danville merCh-
ants who are restlessly awaiting the
running of trolley cars into the busi-
ness center Of this city. The tracks are
laid and the cars run to the city, bat
not into 1t. Every day that the cars
are kept out of the business portion Of
the city now delays the beginning Of
new era Of prosperity here.
To deny that any city Of size in these
modern times can 90 forward without
the convenience of trolley lines with
in its boundaries, bringing III people
from the outside and making distance
seem as nothing, is absurd To even
suggest that huge piles of masonry
'little slices of cheese as they were
| faCetiously styled at the injunction
hearings, and posts and braces to
strengthen the girders Of the proposed
overhead crossing should be placed in
Mill street, Danvilles business
thoroughfare, obstructing it almost to
the point of impassibility, is even
more ridiculous The Dauville merCh-
ants do not for a moment entertain
doubts as to the final outcome of the
matter, for they believe it impossible
for any one understanding the situa.
tiOn to be so blind rs not to see that a
grade crossing at Mill street is the
only possibility, but it is the delay
that stirs them so deeply and theiI
feeling in the matter is not to be con.
demned when 1t is recognized what q
damper is being placed on the fires OF
public advancement here.
The stores a.y now in their seconc
week of keeping open nights Tn,
business is fair, but "a large eIemnu
that would increase the Danville trad,
is totally eliminated by the failure o
trolley cars to get into the city Peo

ing the trolley cars They come from
points not relchrd by railroads and
when just within sight of having the
advantages of city people given them
are held back by the delay in the Op-
Grating of the trolley line in Dauville.
Many farmers who are kept busy in
day time could come by trolley at
night to do shopping.
Iu short the matter is not one mere
ly Of interest TO Danville citizens but
to everyone in this section Al
thoughtful persons are sure of the
eventual satisfactory tn ling of the
trouble III favor of the trolley and Of
the people, but what they decry is the
delay and the serious retarding of the
progress of Danville.

NO MATERIAL
FOR THE BRIGDE

4. J. Newton, of Harrisburg, con-
tracting agent for the King Bridge
Company, was in Danville yesterday.
but could not tell when the iron for
the superstructure of the new river
bridge will be shipped here. The King
Bridge Company is under contract to
finish the bridge by the first of next
April and the Caldwell, Barry q Leo
nard company is under contract to
finish the masonry by the first of Jan
uary. The latter firm agreed with the
former to finish the abutment and first
pier by October 18th and has done even
better than that for by next week
enough of the masonry will be com
pleted that three spans of the bridge
could be constructed if the material
were here.
The Caldwell, Barry & Leonard peo-
pie, with energy and progress that IS
commendable have worked wonders on
their part of the work. They have 10
intimation when the King company
will ship its material here, so it looks
as il the superstructure is not to be
started at once, as it should be. The
| feeling in the matter on the part of
South Danville residents is very in-
tense and there is possibility of pc
tition being circulated for signatures
and then sent to the governor and the
authorities at Harrisburg asking them
to take action looking to the hasten
ing OF work on the bridge and requir-
ing the King company to show more
activity to insure the prompt compile
tion of the bridge at the earliest pos
| sibls date.

ing would be a source of danger by
obstructing the view of drivers aud

David Eckman and Henry Bern
heimer next were called to state that
the blind alley route proposed by the
d. L. 81 W. is out of the question for
part of the alley is private property
and the alley shown on the railroad
maps really does not exist.
Councilman George Reifsnyder was
called to establish that the overhead
crossing would interfere with the bor-
ough light and the water main and
gas pipes, also with the apparatus in
case of fire. Councilman Vastine was
examined next and corroborated the
testimony that the alley in question is
private property. He said that the
overhead crossing would be more dang
erous than the grade, that the danger
of the grade crossing was considered
by council when they gave the trolley
line the right of way and that the
Council certainly would not permit OF
the building of the overhead crossing.
The objection to this testimony was
sustained.
Enigneer Darlington was recalled,
but gave no new testimony. Harry

records of the action of Council and
the trolley company.
