Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

is talking about the proposed fran
chise for the new railway company.
There are advocates and opponents OF
the franchise among the residents The
present company is rushing work on
the line from the New Castle road TO
reach Wilmington by Market street
bridge, when IL is understood the fare
is to be lower. Advocates OF the new
company say that there should be a
proviso in its franchise compelling
cars to run every half hour and that at
no time shall the fare be more than
ten cents between New Castle and
Fourth and Market streets. AS soon
as the copies of the ordinance are
printed the people will have a chance
to read what the company asks for.

Company, is an advocate of he new
line because the cars will carry the
companys workmen direct to the big
steel plants.
