FASTER TRAINS
TO REHOBOTH
Superintendent Brooks Con-
Sidering Changes in
the Schedule
VI. D. MULLEN IS ACTIVE

As a result Of the efforts Of William d
Mullen, acting chairman Of the Transpor-
tation and Navigation Committee Of the
Board Of Trade to improve the train ser-
vice between this city and Rehoboth
which have been crowned with success on
a number of occasions, General Super'n-
tendent E. f. Brooks, of the p. B. and w.
Railroad Company is considering changes
in the schedule that will improve the SER
vice measurably.
Mr.. Mullen has suggested that the pres
ent daily train which leaves Wilmington
at 8.44 o'clock become part of the egular
service to Rehoboth by allowing that
portion of the train which would go to
Rehoboth to be made up on its arrival at
Harrington at sal o'clock and then con-
tinue to Rehoboth, making Milford the
first stop and then running to Georgetown
without any further stop and continue
from Georgetown down, making the same
regular every evening stop as train No 81.
In this manner Mr. Mullen believes many
of the long stops at stations, which oc-
cur on train No. 81, would be eliminated.
1t would mean that train No 81 would be
run as usual to Georgetown, making the
usual stops between Harrington and that
point and then continue through from
Georgetown to Franklin City without go
ing 10 Rehoboth.
Reduce Time An Hour.
It is calculated that by thus changing
the schedule the time to go from this city
TO Rehoboth would be reduced to only
three hours. where it requires almost toui
hours now. It is pointed out also that II
is most necessary for the train TO get to
the shore earlier than it does If Rehoboth
is to enjoy that prosperity that is due its
attractiveness as a summer resort The
train now gets to Rehoboth at 836 O'CLOCK
and Mr. Mullen asserts that visitors conn.,
ing in at this time cannot expect that the
hotels will be prepared TO give the accom-
rnodations that would be found II The
train came in earlier. The bad impression
given visitors as a result cannot be esti
mated
Mr.. Mullen says that there is a wide
sentiment among Wilmington people toi
the improved train service, so that they
may visit the beach this year. many o.
whom. however. he says VIII not do 81
under the present $40" 90i VIC 1iiN'N - "
not desired that the company be put Il
extra expense by putting on additiona
trains but only changes in the schedd'
are desired so that long waits at station
be eliminated
Active Down the State.
Accompanying Mr. Mullen's efforts 4
boom better service between here and Re
hoboth. are petitions that Rave been sign
ed and are being sent to superintendent A
J. Whitney. Jr.. Of the Delaware Division
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
These petitions have been signed by peo
ple in Dover Smyrna, Harrington, Sea

other places and make general request 70
the elimination of long and unnecessar!
stops.
