Belt Line .- A line of railroad was constructed through the eastern section of West Reading and opened for traffic in 1902 for the purpose of running coal and freight trains around Reading, in order to avoid the congestion of trains at the depot and limit
Halls .- The third floor of the West Reading Ho- tel has been set apart for amusement purposes.
The old one-story brick school building with its extension, situated on Franklin street between Sec- ond and Third streets, was purchased by William F.

first purchasers of lots in West Reading, having in 1874 purchased a block of lots along Penn ave- nue extending from Second to Third streets, and several years afterward erected on a knoll a fine two-story mansion for his residence which has oc- cupied much prominence in the town until the present time.
SHILLINGTON
INCORPORATION .- The borough of Shillington, embracing an area of 284 acres of land, was erected by the court of Quarter Sessions of Berks county on Aug. 18, 1908. The application was presented on Sept. 9, 1907, and signed by 160 citizens of Cumru township, who resided in the vicinity of the "Three-Mile House," a long-es- tablished public place at the intersection of the Lancaster road with the thoroughfare commonly known as the "Philadelphia road," three miles southwest from Reading. Many property holders had entered a determined protest, but without avail.
In 1844, John Beidler secured the farming land there from the Valentine Stroup estate, upon which the "Three-Mile House" came to be established as a hotel, and the Beidlers have continued to own it until the present time. In 1848, Samuel Shil- ling purchased 128 acres, part of the same farm. In 1860, he laid off part of the land into lots, and soon afterward the' place came to be known as Shillington. James G. Lash purchased part of the farm and in . 1891 laid it off into lots; after which time the place grew rapidly by the erection of dwellings. The post-office was established in 1884.
In 1893, the heirs of Jonathan Miller, deceased, sold seventy-two acres, 107 perches of land to the west of Shillington to Henry Ahrens, George Eltz and J. B. Sterley, of Reading, and they laid it off into lots, which they called Edison, and then that section came to be improved rapidly.
The hotel was a popular resort for many years, more especially after a racing track had been es- tablished there in 1868. Previously the highway from that point toward Reading was occasionally used in spirited running races by ambitious own- ers of speedy horses, which attracted much public attention.
This section of road from the hotel to the bridge (crossing the Schuylkill river) was the first in the county to be improved by the State Highway de- partment. The improvement was made in 1904-07. at a cost of $18,326.
Shillington became connected with Reading by trolley line in 1890; and the same year the line was extended to Mohnsville (now Mohnton).
