Neao Hope Railroad
Planned IS Years A go

j. b
Plans for the extension of the
North East Pennsylvania Railroad
from its terminus at Breadysville
to New Hope, were considered at a
meeting held at Buckingham on JAM
uary 2S, 1889. Albert S. Paxson, of
Buckingham, presided, and William
C. Blackfan, of Solebury, and G. w.
Rubinkam were secretaries.
The local men present at the meet
ing were Mr. Blacldan, Timothy 4.
Eastburn and William M. Ely, of
New Hope vicinity, and DR.. G. H.
Larison, of Lamoertville, all since
deceased. These men, together with
DR.. i Newton Evans, of Hatboro;
g. w Rubinkam, of Warwick; DIR.
A. D. Markley of Hatboro; John
Cooper, of Pineville, and Albert s.
Paxson of Buckingham were named
a committee to confer with the Phil
adelphia & Reading Railway Com
pany, and also to solicit stock sub
scriptions.
The North East Pennsylvania Rail-
road was opened for traffic through
to New Hope in 1892. For many
years it did an Improbable business,
but within the past two or three
years it has been making great
strides in both passenger and freight
business despite the automobile COM
petition.

NEW HOPE
PERSONALS

Watson Janney has taken a posi-
ton as clerk in the Solebury Nation
al Bank. He has been employed for
merly in similar position in the
Lakewood IN. J.) Bank.
DR.. r, C. Magill reports that a
suspicious character has been prowl-
ing around his neighborhood several
nights this week. The lack of police
protection here seems to make it
imperative that householders arm
themselves for protection.
Mrs. r. A. Leiby, of Bridge street,
was a Trenton shopper recently.
A pie and cake sale was held by
the High School Seniors last Sat-
urday. They are raising funds to
take an educational trip to Wash
ington, and the proceeds go to that
fund.
Mr.. and Mrs. John II. Ely recently
entertained number of friends at
$500"
Il. M. Saylor, of Logan Inn, re-
turned this week from business

ROADS MUST KEEP PACE WITH
AUTOMOBILES

Will the United States stop build
ing motor cars, close up its fac
tories and return to iiofse-frawn ve-
hicles?
Absurd question! Yet there is
only one alternative: If we are not
to lose the economic and social bene-
fits of motor transportation, we
must supply roads upon which the
power vehicles may run.
1t is impossible to separate the
water from the wave, gol dfrom the
the bracelet, or the track from the
locomotive. 1t is equally impossible
to separate the road from the truck,
or the passenger car from the high
way. They are halves of a whole;
transportation is never vehicle
alone, or highway alone; it is both
together.
Our roads We're planned and built
for means of transportation which
is gone. The earliest highways We're
for horse riders, the stagecoach
came next, after which we had the
buggy and the wagon. The narrow
road, the steep grade, the soft sur
face were all admissible for these;
none of them are economical for the
swift and powerful motor.
We have improved" our high
ways-some of them-and widened a
few, but we still build a road with
the idea that it will '1ast" but a few
years, and need Constant repairs"
We still build in widths predicated
upon slow-moving vehicles, and we
still wind our highways up hill and
down dale and around devious curves
because it is "easiest' and 'cheap-
est" so to do.
That era is gone! The new one
is fairly here. We must either build
our roads for our modern vehicles,
or scrap motor transportation. As
the latter is unthinkably absurd, it
seems logical to believe that the
era of the wide, expensive, perman-
ent, hard surface road is here.

Tinicmm Grange Joins
Vim PIumsfeaders

After five years of struggle the
Tinicum Grange, Patrons of Hus-
bandry have taken their "a members
to the Plumsteadville Grange, where
they were most cordially welcomed.
The Plumsteadville Grange has
about $50 members and is one of
the strongest and most active in
Pennsylvania. A few years ago the
latter Grange was some distance
away from the majority of the TIM
cum members, but in these days Of
autos and good roads few extra
miles are scarcely noticeable.
In Hunterdon County, on the Jer-
sey side Of the Delaware, there are
many Oranges, practically all Of
good strength-generally having a
larger membership than the Bucks
County branches Of the same organ
ization. On the other hand, the
farmers clubs in Bucks County have
furnished much of the social side
that is furnished by the Grange in
Hunterdon County.

Bucks Farm Bureau
Elects Ne00 Officers

The following officers were elected
at the meeting of the Bucks County
Farm Bureau, held in Doylestown:
President, William w. Hurley, New
Hope; vice president, H. w. Baum,
Hilltown; secretary, J. H. Cliffe,

County Agent Philip Sprenkle
said that most of the work for 1924
will be done along the line Of dairy
ing, potatoes and poultry. 1t is
felt, he said, that it is far more i'm
portant to concentrate on few
lines than to undertake work in
every phase of farming.

The members of the Eagle Fire
Company will make a house to house
canvass on Saturday, February %,
1924, to solicit contributions for the
general support of the company.
Suppers, pie and cake sales and
other events have been held in the
past to raise funds, but none have
been held in longer time, so it is
considered best to adopt this means.
These days people would about as
lief give money and be done with it
as to prepare things for suppers or
sales and follow that up with pur-
chases. It's easier for everybody.

COTTAGE HILL
WATER COSTS
Continued

provided it receives an application
for service from the city or the prop
erty owners requiring water and a
revenue guarantee in proper form
uf at least l3 per cent per annum
of the cost of the facilities required
to adequately supply said section. F."
This definitely fixes a cost of over
$1,000 per year in excess Of the
probable revenue from the Cottage
Hill section, if water is installed by
the Lambertville Water Company.
This would either have to be met in
the tax budget, or apportioned
among all the water consumers of
the city.
Just what will be done is a prob
lem that will have to be worked out
later, but as the approval of the
Public Utility Commission is neces-
sary to anything that may be done,
the report Of Mr.. Belts may be re-
garded as authoritative concerning
the probable yearly expense,

Start Work on The
Neso Canal Bridge

The new concrete,
bridge over the canal at
the Pennsylvania Railroad Station
promises to be in use within sixty
days. A detail of fifty men removed
the old wooden bridge in record
time Tuesday. The steam dredge,
which was kept stationed in the
basin below the bridge, was then
taken to Stockton for convenient
use in keeping the channel clear.
A temporary footbridge was then
erected at Bridge Street, and all
traffic is detoured thru
Lambert Street and over the Cory
ell Street bridge. And altho atten-
tion Of the Commissioners had been
called to the deplorable condition of
lower Lambert Street, nothing had
been done to improve it. However,
on Wednesday the Canal Company
dumped ashes in the holes, and it
was put in better condition They
also erected guard around the end
of the sluiceway from the canal to
Lear Mill to prevent vehicles from
running into it in the night.
Officials Of the Canal Company
have said that the work Of erecting
the new bridge will take about 30
days, but this is provided that good
weather prevails. At any rate the
new structure ought to be in COM
mission within thirty days. The con-
struetion win be Of reinforced con-
crete, and will be a decided inn
provement to the cisy's assets.

MAN KILLED BY
TROLLEY CAR

New Hope-The 10 o'clock trolley
leaving here for Trenton Tuesday
night ran over James Sullivan, of
Neely's Mill, on curve near that
station. The operator Of the trolley
was Russell Hibbs, of Trenton. He
has been absolutely exonerated of
all blame, as it was stormy night,
and the rain almost obliterated the
view. In addition to this, the posi-
ton of Sullivan's body around the
curve prevented the headlight of the
trolley from revealing him as the car
came upon him.
Sullivan had gone down on the
preceding trolley, and got off safe
ly at his station. He had been
drinking during the day. and some
supposed this caused him to fall
asleep on the track. But others hold
the view that the position of the
body was not in line with the direc-
ton of his home. Also basket of
groceries he had carried were found
undisturbed in the shelter of the sta
tion. These facts have caused many
to express the belief that Sullivan
had met with foul play and had
been placed on the tracks to hide
the crime.
The State Police are making an
investigation, and developments are
expected. 1t has been pointed out
that altho Sullivan drank, he never
has been known TO become so intoxi-
Gated that he couldn't walk. Several
have testified that they have seen
him leave the trolley at his station
when he was under the influence of
liquor, but that he always proceed
ed in an orderly way to his home.
When the motorman realized that
he had struck the body, he placed
it on board and returned to New
Hope. John Hartman, the bridge
tender. called Doctor Leiby, who
pronounced Sullivan dead. He in
turn notified the coroner, and the
body was turned over to George b.
Horner, undertaken, The body was
badly mangled, altho the wheels of
The trolley did not pass over it.
The position of the body was length
wise in the tracks, and the trucks
of the trolley crushed it almost be-
yond recognition.
Sullivan has two brother, Frank
and John, of New York City. But
eforts to locate them have been un-
availing. In the meantime the body
has been prepared for burial, and
remains in the undertaking parlor
until they are heard from, or the
authorities order the burial.
Sullivan had been employed on the
High Farm at Neely's Mill, but late
ly had been working in Lambertvile
with the road squad of the New
Jersey Power e. Light Co.
