Electric Trains Deferred,

The running of electric cars on the
West Jersey and Seashore Railroad be-
tween Camden and Atlantic Cts will not
begin before September lst, because it
may greatly delay the local travel as
well as to the seashore, as the men are
not experienced i'll running the new cars.
The work OF refitting the road with a
third track and third rail, the building of
bridges and power houses has been going
on nights and Sundays for the past five
months.
The greatest work was the rebuilding
OF the bridge over the Woodbury. Creek.
1t took months and save for the several
piles OF dirt, stacks OF concrete and tons
OF crushed stone lying around one would
suppose nothing was being accomplished.
The old wooden structure was removed
and two immense girders placed temper
arily across the stream. 1t was necessary
to dig down far below the bottom of the
creek, drive twenty-five foot pilings,
build two cofferdams and one of the most
complete bridges along the line has been
constructed.
A big power house has been erected at
Westville to supply the electrical power
to run cars.
Fifty-seven cars have been equipped
for the road, each to carry seventy pas
sengers. 1t is expected to run from Cam.
den to Atlantic City in 80 minuter and
the fare is expected to be 75c single fai,
and .$l.25 for the round trip.
One of the principal reasons for the
electrification of the short line railroads.
is to get rid of the railroad EMPLOYEES
labor trust. The Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers is the strongest in the
country. They have forced their wage!
up to 81 and Sc a day. An engineer
might run Two or three round trips tt
Atlantic City, but one trip is considered
a days work without any care OF the EN-
CINE at either end.
1t will not take so many train men t,
run the electrical cars and their pay will
be about half what the brotherhood OF
the steam railroads have forced thei
wages up to.

A Big Land Deal.

Over two months ago the Dupont Pow
der Company got options on several hum
bred acres OF land adjoining their Smoke
less Powder Plant on Carneys Point. Last
Saturday the owners were notified that
the land would be bought and paid for in
thirty days.
The tract consists OF all that west OF the
road to Pennsville, beginning at Robert
Kidd's farm, a short distance below Cove
School House, and extends to the Pebble
farm, now owned by the Duponts, near
the Lower Penn's Neck line, with the
exception of a few acres owned by Sam
uel M. Justice on which his farm house
stands. 1t also includes all OF DIR. David
Wiley's farm which extends west OF the
Pennsville road to the Forked Hickory
and up the Auburn road. The largest
tracts are owned by DIR. Wiley, 300 acres;
Robert Kidd 100 acres; William G. Sum
merrill ITO acres; Josiah Smmerill 81 acres;
Mrs. A. Ii. Shape, 80 acres; Daniel V.
Summerill, Is acres; and small lots OF
meadow owned by Mrs. Jamuel j.. Hurtf,
Joseph Lawrence, DIR. John M. Summerill,
and Mrs. Frank Walker.
The deal comprises over 700 acres and
the prices is reported to be 500 and up
wards per acre. making the total amount
to nearly 500, DOC.
After the consumnation of this deal the
DUPONT Powder Company will own about
1900 acres in Upper Penn's Neck Town
ship. There will be only three small
tracts between theirs and the Pennsgroye
Borough line and two farms between the
dupont land and Penn's Neck Canal.
This is the largest land deal in this
region since large tracts were laid out in
colonial days.
In the midst of the Dupont tract is the
the Government Light House, William
d. Iorton tender. on Henby Creek, &C.
cuping about two acres.
A reason given for the purchase Of
these tracts is that the laws OF New Jersey
require that building used for the manu-
features OF high explosives must be locat-
ed at a certain distance from buildings
owned by other parties, dwelling houses
especially. The buildings on their pre-
sent land are widely scattered, and some
are very close to adjoining properties in
this deal, altho there are no dwellings
near.
The Duponts own about 1900 acres at
Repauno chemical works at Gibbstown.
Those on Carney's Point are tine largest
smokeiess powder works in the United
States. and since they started a market
has been made for 1900 acres of land at
from two to three times its value for farm
ing purposes, besides the 500, 900 monthly
payment in wages has given a boom to
real estate and house building in PENIS
Grove.
