NEW TROLLEY LINE
TO THE SEA PROJECTED
Control of Philadelphia. Delaware
and Montgomery Passes to New
Owners.
Another electric line to the sea is
projected by capitalists of New York
and Philadelphia They have obtained
control of the Philadelphia, Delaware
ami Montgomery Railroad Company, a
corporation formed to build a third-rail
electric railway from Lafayette
station, on the Scbnyikill Valley divis-ion
of the Pennsylvania Railroad to
thi Delaware River, at a point on the
dti Pont farm in Tinicitni township.
Delaware County. It is proposed to
tunnel the river at that point and eith-er
connect with the Pennsylvania
electric hue at Woodburj or to con-struct
;i separate road to Atlantic
City.
A charter tor the Philadelphia, Dela-ware
and Montgomery Railroad was
taki u out in April. l§06, under the
railroad act of April 4, 1808. The
capital ol the company was given at
$140,000, or $10,000 a mile for each
one of the II miles proposed to be con-st
meted by this corporation. The ilu
Font farm of more than 100 acres was
purchased by the promoters of tins
company, and it is understood that
this property Is to be turned over to
the capitalists who have obtained con-trol.
The .1. G. White Company, electrical
engineers of New York, have complet-ed
a survey of the proposed line from
Lafayette station southward past the
Rapiil Transit Company's terminal at
With street to the Delaware River.
The engineers also made an estimate
for the construction of a two-track
tunnel under the Delaware River.
The estimated cost of the tunnel Is
$2,000,000.
The original owners of the Philadel-phia,
Delaware and .Montgomery Rail-toad
charter included Peter .1. Hughes.
Edward L. Graham. Charles T. Magin-nis.
Bernard Bradley. Charles H. llat-vey,
I. Robert Whltely, Thomas F.
Daly and George Bhnlen, trustee.
What interests have been purchased
by the promoters of the new line Mr.
Hughes declined to say. except that
negotiations were pending tor the Im-mediate
construction of the first sec-li
il the line.
It is understood that the plans of the
new owners are staidish a ferry
service across the Delaware River be-tween
the company's yards on the du
Pont farm and Lincoln Park on the
New Jersey side. A connection Will
be built to the Pennsylvania Railroad's
electric line. It is said that traffic
arrangements will be proposed to the
railroad company by which passen-gers
may travel to and from the sea-shore
without change of cars.
It is proposed to erect main power
nations on the du Pont farm and at
Incoln i'ark. Eight sub-stations also
ill be built if the project is under-taken.
It Is asserted by the promot-ers
that the verj latest equipment will
be used, ami if an independent line
is built to the seashore, round-trip
tickets Will be sold for $1.

During the present year the coun-ty
will receive thousands of dollars
which will create the dog fund. All
owners of assessed dogs must come
up with 40 cents or weep over the loss
of their pets. Those owners who have
been wise enough to escape assess-ment
must separate themselves from
an even half a dollar or subject them-selves
to the same penalty.
This means that the county will
during the present year have a dog
fund which has no precedent so far as
amount is concerned. But there are
many avenues through which , uuds
collected in Ibis manner can ens'iy lie
drained. The law which is now In el-tlloWS
