Old Railroad Roadbed
to Be State Highway

Scranton, Pa, Oct. pa state
highway that will pass through a
long tunnel under a mountain and
that will be the only road of it's kind
in the world, is likely to be con-
structed Just north of Scranton, in
the near future. by the Pennsylvania
state Highway Department. Business
men, farmers, autoists and civic or
ganizations of northeastern Pennsyl-
vania are backing the project, and
the state highway engineers are
favorable to it.
The highway would occupy more
than twenty miles of railroad bed
abandoned a few years ago by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad when it built a cutoff. 1t
would eliminate steep grades and
would have a foundation that would
endure for ages Crushed stone is
piled high along the right of way
and surfacing is the only work need
ed to be done. The tunnel would be
lighted from a power plant at Mich
olson, a mile from its northerly end.
The route is part of the shortest
route from New York to Buffalo.

Many of the big baking concerns
of this city do not have sufficient
sugar to supply their needs during
the coming week. Bernard Schmidt
stated this morning that the Schmidt
bakery, the Harrisburg Baking
Company and the Acme Baking
Company have less than a weeks

are in much the same boat Unless
supply can be obtained at once. it
will be necessary to eliminate cakes

The Standard Baking Company
the West Shore Bakery and other
concerns are similarly situated. Some
bakers make the statement that they
will be compelled to discontinue the
baking of bread unless a supply of
sugar is speedily available.
The d. Bacon Company, whole

fortunate than most concerns, as it
has in stock sufficient sugar to meet
needs for five or six weeks. Beet
sugar can not be used in the manu-
facture of candies. Candy manu-
facturers who have q supply of
sugar on hand will not take advan-
tage of the situation, it is announced,
but will sell their product at the
normal price.
