Plans are being completed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
the putting down of double track
system on the Belvidere division from
Coalport to the present double tracks
of the division which begin about 20
miles above Trenton
just when this work will be started
is not known but the probability is
that it will commence some time this
Summer or early next fall.
1t is stated upon reliable authority
that the company has ordered a new
double track bridge which is to be in
stalled in place of the single one
which is now across the feeder of the
Delaware and Raritan cana Immediate
ly west of the Warren street station.
1t is also stated that the bridge house
of the canal at Broad street will be
moved to the north of its present posi-
ton as far as the feeder will permit.
The house at Warren street will be al
tered in that part of the present south
side will be removed to make room
from the placing of extra rails.
A little more than year ago there
was a new bridge placed by the rail
road company at the junction of the
canal and feeder and this is double
track structure. 1t replaced a single
track bridge.
The company has for long time
been considering the double tracking
of the Bevidere division for its entire
length. The road is an important
factor in coal carrying and an increase
of tracks is TO facilitate this and other
freight business.

The labor here represented is not in
antagonism to Capita, the Pennsyl-

But instead we are here to do hon

and now when duty calls you else

regret at parting However, Mr..
