ELEVATED WORK
MAY Be ABANDONED
Rumor That a One-track
Local System Only be Op-
Grated in Wilmington
OFFIGILLs IRE BECOMING VENE1

Reports were current this morning
that work on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road elevated system through this city
may be stopped az every point until a
satisfactory agreement can be reached
with the property owners who are pre-
senting objections TO the building Of tho
line along or through their holdings.
lt Is said that the company is be-
coming vexed and disgusted at the
actions of these owners and that
rather than keep up the contention
longer Il will give up. temporarily at
least the project of elevating It's tracks
through the city.
Although no official orders have been
received here regarding the running Of
through trains between Philadelphia
and Washington over the New Castle
tracks II IS understood that such a
plan IS contemplated. In this case it
would mean that passengers who de-
sired to reach either Of those places ny
fast trains must take a local here Ia
Edgemoor and then transfer.
WORK ON NEW STATION.
II the plan OF abandoning work until
an adjustment is reached is carried out
II may mean that but one track viii
be operated by the company Through
the city and that a surface one for local
trains only. IL may also mean that
the work Of building a new station win
be postponed for an indefinite period
and that the old structure win be used
las II is now. 1t is not presumed. how
ever. that work of constructing tbs
overhead system viii be entirely
abandoned.
On the offices on the upper floor of
the old station have been transferred
TO the office building across the, tracks
and officials are greatly pleased with
their new quarters. The rooms are
larger and lighter and afford much bet
ter accommodations than those vacat-
ed. il Is not decided definitely whether
the Delaware Division offices viii be
moved from Clayton.
