A citizen Of Carbondale, realiz,
ing the beautiful scenery we have
this side of the Moosic, makes the
following proposition to the Car
bondale Leader in the form of a let
ter: Now that the state is going
to reconstruct the public road from
the city line to the state asylum al
Farview, would it not be a grand
opportunity for the Scranton Trac
tion company TO lay street cal
track which could be easily con
tinued to Honesdale and the patron
age would no doubt be very great
especially in summer. The fare by
the Delaware and Hudson company
from Carbondale city station to Lin
coin avenue, a few rods from start
ing point, ten cents; to White
Crossing, about one mile from start
ing point, fifteen cents; to Quig
leys, which is about two miles from
the City station, is twenty-five cents
which is considered outrageousl
high"
