New  Road  Delayed
The  Bellefonte  Central  Railroad
which a year ago bought the abandoned Motion of the Lewisburg and
Tyrone Railroad from Fairbrook to
Stover Station from the Pennsylvania, then built a new link from state
College to Fairbrook to have a com
petting  link witb the   Pennsylvania
front Bellefonte to Tyrone, is backing trouble to get into Tyrne.
.   When the purchaser ofthe abandoned section was made it was directed by the Interstate Commerce
Con-mission that the Bellfonte Central was to have the right of   way
over the P. R. R. tracks from Stover
Station into Tyrone. But a portion
of the P. B. R. track has been torn
np snd. ss it is on the Pennsylvania
right ef way,  the  Bellefonte  Central has no authority to restore it.
It will result fat another hearing
before    the  sntesstato    Commerce
