NO REQUEST FOR
LINE EXTENSION
City Railway Not Yet Pre-
pared to Lay Tracks on
Concord Avenue

The Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company has not yet applied
to the Street and Sewer Directors for
a franchise to extend its tracks from
Washington Street to the Boulevard
over the Concord turnpike. and ON
Gals of the company declared this
morning sucn a proposition would
not be taken up at this time.
1t is probable, however, that the
company will do SO eventually, since
1t has acquired control of the Concord
turnpike, and since an extension out
Concord avenue would give it traffic
from the proposed West Chester and
Wilmington Trolley Company.
Concord avenue Is to be cut down
10 grade by the Street and Sewer
Directors, in return for which the
company will permit the city to use
It. The street department has not,
however, begun this work.
