OF LOCAL INTEREST.
Proposed Transfer Of Weems Franchise
to Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

Proposed Transfer Of Weems Franchise
to Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The proposed transfer Of the Weems Line
Of steamers to representatives Of the Penn
sylvania railway is Of more than passing
moment to the business interests OF this
city, as one Of the routes maintained by
the Weems Line Is in the Potomac river,
from this city to river landings and Balti-
more. The Weems schedule now calls for
three trips per week at this season of the
year, and In summer three steamers are on
the route and five trips each week are
made.
The steamers involved in the deal are the
rotomac, Northumberland, Calvert, Mid
dlesex, Westmoreland, Lancaster, ST.
Marys, Essex and the new steamer Anne
Arundel These steamers have at different
times run upon the Potomac in the past
four or five years and are among the fin
est vessels that are in service on Chesa-
peake bay and it's tributaries
The steamers Calvert Middlesex, North
cumberland and Anne Arundel are all new
steamers, having been built within the last
four years. The Weems line is the oldest
steamboat line in America having been es
tablished over fifty years ago and having
been controlled by one family ever since
Its establishment. When the railway in
terests take over the Weems boats and
routes it will, with exception, have
control of all the steamboat lines running
into Baltimore and to points on Chesa-
peake bay and it's tributaries
Besides the route on the Potomac. the
Weems company has for many years been
operating line between Baltimore and
landings on the Rappahannock river to
Fredericksburg, as well as route on the
Choptank river in Maryland. 1t is one Of
the Wealthiest steamboat companies in the
country and the rumor that So, 600 600 is
the price to be paid for the property will
not be found to be far wide of the mark
when the deal is completed

Progress on Rebuilding of Wharves.

The rebuilding of the under portion of
the wharf of the Alexandria ferry line
steamers is progressing but slowly, and 1t
will be several days before 1t is COM
pleted. The structure is being made firm
and strong to stand the weight of the
heavily laden wagons which are driven
over it daily to and from the ferry steamer.
The wharf used by the Colonial Beach
and River View excursion steamers is also
being repaired, and before the opening Of
the next excursion season the structure
will be given a thorough overhauling to
meet the requirements of the District
building inspectors Office.
The rebuilding of the crib Of the 10th
street wharf of the American Ice Company
and the repairing of the fish wharf at the
foot of 18th street are rapidly approaching
completion
The necessity for some plan for the per-
manent improvement of the wharf facili-
ties here becomes more and more apparent,
it is stated. The District has leased a
number of wharves to the steamboats, and
other business interests, and the lessees
claim that the expense of keeping them in
repair is very heavy, owing to their dilapt-
dated condition when the leases were made.
