REDUCE CURVES on
WARRINGTON LINE
New Bridges Also Being
Built Means Greater
Comfort.

A realignment Of right Of way and
reduction In curvatures, o replace.
ment OF old wooden trestles with new
and modern steel and concrete ones.
the whole involving the expenditure
OF scores Of thousands Of dollars. is
being made on the Warrington divis.
ion Of the Monongahela Valley Trac.
ton company. Eight curves will be
reduced, some Of them being reduced
from a 26 degree curvature to a 20
degree.
A reduction in the speed at which
cars on the Warrington division have
been operated. making for greater
safety, and consequent increased rid.
ing comfort for passengers, are the
reasons for the Improvements. Three
large forces OF men are now employed
at the work. which will be finished be.
fore bad weather sets in.
The curves being cut hack are at
Maple Point. Prichards Mills, Joliffe's
Curve. Pennington Satisfaction. Gun.
ningham's Rock, Plum Run and Phila.
delphia. The steel and concrete
bridges are being bull: on the sites
of the old wooden tresllos at Dow2s
and Flaggy Meadow Run, the latter
almost in Warrington.
The improvements will not affect
the operation Of CARSON the division,
although such operation will material
ly hold back the placing Of the new
track and bridges.
Some trouble has been experienced
by the Traction company in securing
right of way at anything less than
exhorborant prices and 1t is apnounc.
cd that condemnation proceedings will
be started by them in a day or two
in one or two cases.
