SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
RAILROADS SHOULD COOPERATE
From ne saIlsbury TrIbune.

RAILROADS SHOULD COOPERATE
From the Salisbury Tribune.
The business men OF Salisbury have
spent much time and effort and no
small amount Of money in their CAM
paign to make Salisbury the business
metropolis Of this section. How we'll
they have succeeded is evidenced. by
the throng of people from the country
side within radius OF fifty miles who
make this city their shopping head
quarters.
Inc railroads passing through this
city have contributed little to this
publicity campaign but have been its
benehciaries to the extent Of many
hundreds OF dollars in the increased
freight traffic which the enlarged bus
mess has made and an additional
revenue from the transportation OF
passengers attracted to this point by
the activity of the business men.
From points along the Delaware
railroad. along the ~ Y p. & n. rail-
road and the b. c. & A. railroad large
numbers OF persons have come to Sal
isbury to do their shopping. and this
despite the fact that the train sched-
ules were not arranged with seeming
regard TO the convenience OF such
passengers.
This is particularly noticeable in
the connections from the Delaware di-
vision. Shoppers visiting Salisbury
by rail on the schedule which has OBJ
tained for many months past arrived
here at 1906 y. m. and were obliged
to leave at 2.3S p. m. or remain here
until the night line going north at
1928 a. M. Thus. allowing time for
the trip from the station TO the bus
mess section and return. shoppers had
less than two hours to make their
purchases, unless they remained un-
til after midnight.
In the face of these difficulties Sal
isbury has still attracted a large trade
from points along the Delaware d.
vision as far north as Seaford and
there is every reason to believe that
this trade could he more than doubled
if better transportation facilities were
given.
Under the new schedule which went
into effect last week the shopping day
was shortened forty-nine minutes by
the change, when the leaving time Of
the afternoon express nOrthbOund,
was changed to 1.49.
The Delaware division has train
leaving Delmar at Ais p. m. with
which. II connections were made by
the n. Y. p. & n. the time for shoppers
! in Salisbury would be increased to
about three and one-half hours The
a. Y. = & n. has train leaving Del
! mar sOuthbound at $50 a. m. and ar
riving at Delmar northbound at $50
p. m. by which if connections were
made over the Delaware division shop
pors would spend the entire day in
Salisbury or could come in the morn
ing and return at noon or come just
after noon and return in the evening
Such an arrangement would bring TO
our stores very large percentage OF
the shopping trade from all Delaware
points within twenty-five or thirty
miles.
The service for points along the \
Y. r. & n. railroad south OF Salisbury
is quite convenient under the present
schedule. but the b. c. G. A. schedule
especially from points west of Sails
bury could be madA much more con

the Wilmington (Del.) journal closes by
saying;
"As we view il. there is no man who

This would seem to be sound es-
innate Of the matter It is true, as
the Journal well says

campaign. In view of the economic
danger which mcnaccs the nation
