TO IMPROVE FREIGHT YARD.
Surveyor Davis Evolves Scheme for
Morris Street Frontage.

Town Surveyor Richard l.. Davis has
evolved a scheme for the treatment
of the Lackawanna railroads freight
yard frontage on Morris street that
has been approved by the railroad,
according to Division Engineer George
Hand. The railroad proposed to leave
its entire frontage along the freight
yard open to the street, SO that
teams could drive in to any track
direct from the main thoroughfare.
This aroused the complaint of citi-
zens and Mr.. Davis got busy and de-
vised a plan to eliminate the object
ionable features, after this paper had
several times called attention to the
matter.
He proposed the erection of con-
crete wall surmounted by an iron
fence. In the wall will be an en-
trance gate and an exit gate for the
teams and inside the wall is to be
twenty-five foot driveway for access
to the various tracks.

M. G. &. TO IMPROVE.
Station Grounds to be LeveIed and
Station Painted.

With the placing in service of the
Lackawanna railroads new station at
Morristown the Morristown C Erie
railroad, whose station grounds ad-
join those of the Lackawanna, plans
improvements. President Richard Nc
EVAN says that the tracks and
grounds adjacent will be lowered
about one and one-half feet to con-
form with the grade of the plaza in
front of the Lackawanna's $ west bound
station. The maple tree standing
alongside the Morristown & Erie sta
tion and estimated to be over 100
years old, will be removed. The sta
tlon is to be painted and toilet rooms
will be arranged within it. The sta
ton yard will be covered with Gin
ders. No permanent Improvement
will be made, however, as the Nor
ristown & Erie contemplates the
erection of a new railroad station
next spring on its property where the
lumber sheds of the c. w. Ennis CO.
are now located. Two of these sheds
viii have their ends near the Lack
awanna cut off so that driveway
may be constructed from Lumber
street to the lumber yards.
