The Baltimore and Delta Narrow. Gauge
Railway. q


The project of building q narrow gauge
railroad from Baltimore city, by way Of
Towsontown, through Baltimore and Hartford
counties, connecting with the York and
Peach Bottom Railway at its present ter
minus, Delta, is rapidly emerging from the
mists of uncertainty, and assuming tangible
shape and proportion. The election for
seven Directors will be held ut bel Air on
Saturday, August nth, and upon the resul,
of this election will depend the route TO be
taken and in great measure the future sue.
cess Of the road
AS nearly all our readers are aware, two
routes have been proposed through Hartford
county, and active competition has taken place
upon each route to secure the larg, st amount
OF subscriptions to the capital stock of the
road, in order to control its location. Al
some of the preliminary meetings it was
mutually agreed by the friends of the respect
i've Ioutes that each should do their best in
the way of soliciting subscriptions, and That
route would be chosen upon which the great
or amornt Of money per mile was subscribed
Inc route in question are known by tho
names Of the Tw;ring's We ''ey route and the
Bel Ar route. The point of divergence is
nclr the Rocks of Deer Creek, in Hartford
county, pnd the lines me at IN the vicinity Of
| Greenwood, in Baltimore county. The line:
would be perhaps seven miles apart ut nc
widest point.
The pr sent state OF The stock subs ,ripton
we are inform !, 'sfs follows:
Amount subscribed upon the Bel Air route
between Stirrup RSr inca" the Rocks d,
; Deer Creck) aud H'glc's, Baltimore comfy
$G4,0Oe The diatoncc he's bc en- ,"e(ully
estimated ut 1G miles, thus showing sub
scription of $4,000 mile, the amount said tc
be requisite to guarantee the road.
The friends of the Twining's Valley route
claim TO have pledged to that route and to nc
other stock subscriptions amounting to $751;
900, which, if the relative figures are not
changed by the day the directors are to be
elected, will give them the control of the
meeting and enable them to choose directors
favorable to that route.
Thus the matter stands at present, and i,
begins to look as though the railroad will moi
touch Bel Air a.ter all.
The contest over the route was fair one
aud if the citizens along ID near the Twin.
ing's Valley route have been more active and
interested than the friends of the Bel All
route, tiey should have all the benefits which
may result from their industry and enter.
prise.
Only one W elk more for active work in
canvassing for subscriptions remains, but
much en- be accomplished in that time. The
Bel Air route, while only two miles longer
than the other, would probably be the best
paying route in the end, and it would certain.
ly be great advantage TO large portion Of
the county to have railroad facilities connect
ing them with the county town. But, as we
have said, If the people who are in favor Of
Of the Bel Air route have fallti to show the
same amount of enterprise as those on the
Twinings Valley route, they have only them
selvI1 TO bleme.
