Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-03-02

between Front and Second streets, a
distance of 225 feet.
THE above jobs were paved be-
tween the rails with sheet asphalt, the
same material as used on the balance
of the street. Rows of brick were used
adjacent to the rails.
In Front street, between High
land street and the old eastern bor-
ough line, single track distance of
6,l62 feet was laid. The track in this
section is located on the south side of
street, distance of three feet from
the southern rail to the curb along
the old Pennsylvania canal. AS is was
oil considerable advantage to your
company to maintain the track in this
location, 1t was agreed with the bor-
ough to pave between the tracks and
nine inches on outside thereof with
wood blocks, which make a very sat
lsfactory paving for this character of
street, and conform with the paving
OF Front street west of this point.
Track Work in MiddIetoun
owing to an extension of the plant
of the Middletown Car works, and the
borough abandoning portion of streets
to accommodate the same, an agree
ment was entered into with your COM
pany and the Middletown, Highspire
and Steelton Street Railway company,
to reconstruct and partly relocate
what is known as the Middletown
loop. The track was removed on
Wood street and relocated on Gather
in street. About 1000 feet of track
was involved in this work. Part of the
expense was borne by the Middletown
Car Works.

AN agreement having been entered
into between the city and the Cumber-
land Valley Railroad Company for the
construction of a subway at Second

moved at this point, and a temporary
track has been constructed at the level
of the subway, and put in use Per-
manent tracks will be placed when

ciently. This work will remove the
