EXCURSIONS ARE
AGAIN POPULAR
Both the Pennsy and Reading
Lines Show Increased
SeaShore Traffic

Notwithstanding there is still a
great rush of soldiers, the Pennsy
and Reading lines will be busy from
now until the close of the excursion
season. Improvement of motive
power and car equipment conditions
enables these lines to take care of
increased traffic.
This was the day for the regular
16-day excursion over the Pennsy to
Atlantic City and other seashore re-
sorts. Reports received here indi-
cate large crowds from west of Pitts
burgh. The Reading will run n spe-
Sunday, and is also taking care of
other points each week.
Rush to Niagara Falls
On the Pennsy tomorrow another
big excursion will be run to Niagara
Falls. Cars will be attached to the
train leaving for Buffalo tomorrow
morning. To these excursions the
Baltimore division and Cumberland
Valley division are large contribu-
tors.
Local officials say another week
will find the equipment in still bet
ter shape. Most of the Pennsy and
Reading cars in service on other
lines are being returned. Engines
are being repaired more rapidly, and
while there have been shortages at
intervals, it is the belief that with
good weather, delays will be less fire.
quent, and with the additional cars
at hand larger crowds will be
handled.

city limits and beyond.
Little, if any, grading must be
done, but the streets are to be
opened for use in the specified time
1T was said. Representatives of the
Mccormick estate, owners of prop
erty north of Schuylkill street, and
Commissioner Gross speaking for
the Gross estate assured the Plan
ming Commission that they favored
a roadway 120 feet wide through
their properties and would d$ed
sufficient ground to the city to make
such a street. The next tract start
ing at Division street is owned by
the Mckee Graham estate and they,
too, favor the plan.
North Third street is to be 60
feet in width and will extend along
the top of the bluff east of the park
to Riverside connecting with North
Third street in that district. North
Sixth street also is to be continued
from Division street at a width of
60 feet, the new lines extending
slightly to the northwest and con-
Meeting above a sharp curve north
of Hoffman's Woods which would
be eliminated.
Assurance was given by Mr. Nc
Giffin, Mr.. Graham and Mr.. Leety
that the executors desired to CO.
operate in every possible way with
the city to bring about the i'm
provement. They commended the
city representatives for the big i'm
provements of the last few years
and spoke particularly of the many
paved streets.
