A delegation Of Milton business in
terests met Mr.. St. Claire, divisional
superintendent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, at Rehoboth on Saturday ev-
ening in regards to the operating of
that portion of the defunct M. D. &
V. Ry. from Milton to Glendale, which
is purported to have been purchased
at public sale last week by a junk
dealer. Mr.. St. Claire said that if the
people Of Milton would buy that Sec
ton of the road from Milton to Ellen
dale, at an approximate cost of $685.
900 and keep the road in repair, at
an estimated cost of $4,000 per year,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
would no doubt operate the line as a
freight switch. In other words, as

to the writer, the people of Milton
must buy the road and pay for its up
keep without receiving one dollar
revenue for its use by the Pennsy,
simply enjoying the freight service
given.
