A movement has begun 10 stir in
regard 10 constructing sidclracks to
TO connect with the city dock, The
matter has lain dormant entirely
too long without some effort direct
cd toward relieving the situation
According to the city charter It is
impossible TO sell the dock, (altho
at one time Il was believed this
could be done) but il is possible to
lease il for a term OF IS years, II SO
desired, But without sidetrack
no one wants IT, II is like a house
without means of ingresS or egress.
Something to be wondered at, but
not utilized, The city engineer has
evolved a plan whereby sidetracks
could be constructed at minimum
OF cost With the requirement OF
a block on each side oi Philadelphia
street, the tracks could be laid sat
isfactorily without going further.
IL is the desire of many prop
eTty owners that Philadelphia street
be improved clear to the dock, but
they would be glad To learn that
the dock would be fitted up with
proper sidetracks at the same time
II is believed by some oi our citi-
Lens that II the Hartman manage
ment was approached by a commit
tee from the ely council that il
would agree TO provide and lay the
rails II the city would secure a
right OF way aud drive the piling
II would be worth trying at least
The longer we delay in this dock
matter the more IL Is costing our
citizens, Why an attempt should
not be made TO SHIFT the burden to
other shoulders is difficult to under,
stand 1t is mp to the council to
get busy, and in lis wisdom, take |
some steps toward sidetracking the /
dock The engineer has the plan, |
the people are ready 10 do their |
part, and II IS only question of |
pushing matters now. Let com.
mittee be appointed TO confer with
the railroad company, and have
II in black and white what they
will do. Then get an estimate of
the cost, and call a special election
for the issuance OF sufficient bonds
II is a case OF where more expense
will lessen the burden. And it is
getting quite heavy.
