PARK PAVILION
ROOF C0LLAPSES

Drifts Of snow and high wind
caused about thirty-five feet Of the
old dancing pavilion at Brandywine
Springs Park TO cave in on Sunday
afternoon. The pavilion is located
at the entrance to the park and
stands between the trolley car tracks
and the Landenburg branch OF the
b. & o. railroad. II Is not the pa
vilion which stands within the park
entrance.
The roof OF the old building was
OF tin and supported by wooden
pillars. One side OF the structure
is leaning toward the railroad track
and It is feared unless Il Is propped
up. that Il will either fall and block
the railroad. or the rumble Of a pass
ing train may cause il TO fall direct
ly on a passenger coach or freight
car. The building has been con-
demned for the past six or eight
years. II was erected many years
ago. and may possibly have been a
part OF the old dance pavilion when
Brandywine Springs was famed a

alent to seventeen miles an hour and
averages about thirty mile, Of saving,
