MAY BUILD SHORT
LINE TO ATLANTIC

Since the announcement that Gen.
eral Passenger Agent Boyd, Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has
promised to take up the subject of a
low rate from Wilmington to Atlantic
City by way Of Pennsgrove, word comes
from Elmer, n. j., that surveyors Of
the Pennsylvania railroad are laying
out lines there, presumably for a short
route connection between Pennsgrove
and the Atlantic City main line.
Surveyors of the Pennsy have laid
out lines between Elmer and Newfield,
and this has given rise TO reports
among residents OF that section Of New
Jersey that the seashore electric line
is to be connected with Pennsgrove,
and a ferry is to be established be-
tween Pennsgrove and Wilmington.

should be made in the rates unless
such changes be made necessary by
some requirement of state or national

Clark admitted further that he was
unable To give any reason for The in

nearly all coal shipped over their lines
These holdups caused much suffering
and loss of money. The railroads in
sisted that their demands took proce-
dence over all others, and would not
listen To protests.
AS q result of the heavy storage or
ders being placed by the railroads.
most of the coal 4ininos are continuing
a full force of workmen. OF course,
the higher grades of coal are not in
such demand as they We're during the
winter. The railroads say that al
though the storage coal Will not give
as good results as fresh coal, as a pre-
caution they are being forced to store
large quantities.
No special storage rates ON coal Will
be made to Kansas and Nebraska this
year by the railroads. Until last sum-
ner the railroads made Il reduction
of Is cents per ton on all coal ship
ments to Kansas and Nebraska and
the mine operators reduced the price
of coal 20 cent u ton for the purpose
Of stimulating the storage of coal for
inter use. Last summer no reduc-
tions were made, and many towns in
Kansas and Nebraska suffered from a
coal famine during the winter. This
year it was believed that reduction
would be made to- prevent another fam
inc. but the railroads have agreed TO
make no change in the present rates.
