DOES IT MEAN A TTJNNELP
Humor That Anthracite Park Will
Do Used for Huge Storage Yard.
The rutnor that Anthracite park Is
to bo used by the Delaware and Hud
son company as a dumping ground for
coal Is too preposterous for considera
tion. One of the great leaks In the
transportation of coal via of the canal
was duo to the transfer pockets at
Honesdalo and this transferring Is Just
what coal companies desire to avoid.
A car onco loaded should reach the
destination of' the coal before being
emptied.
This talk, however, has given rise
to another rutnor which may have some
foundation. It is that an immense
storage yard will be built In Anthracite
park and used for the concentration of
coal prior to transportation through
the Mooslc mountain tunnel, which has
been built so many times on paper.
Some well Informed men who hold to
this theory say they would not be sur
prised to sou contractors commence
work on that tunnel any day,
