THE BALTIMORE AND DELTA RAHwAY.-A
Towsontown correspondent of the Baltimore
Sut says ...... ...
A conference was held here on the 3lst of Ju-
ly, between VIM. II. Waters, president, VIM.
Gimor, vice president, and 5. q. Boyd, general
agent of the Baltimore and Delta Narrow Gauge
Railroad and effected arrangements by which
work will be commenced at Lake avenue, near
the Wilson property, in about two weeks. 1t is
believed that by this time next year cars will be
running to Hige's, on the Hartford road QLong
Green,) about fifteen miles from BALTIMORE
This would really develope about twenty of the
forty-tivc miles of the road, which, when thus
far completed, will pass the great dam of the
Gunpowder water-wOrks, with its ten miles of
avenue around it. So far not one dollar has
been paid by the company for the right of way,
which has been practically given all the way to
Baltimore. The only exception is, and where
condemnation will be necessary, where the road
| is to run on the west side of the Falls turnpike
from Stony Run to Boundary avenue, distance
| of about 3 900 feet The right of way has been
given through the Shepherd Asylum property,
| near TowsOntown, the property of Il. j. Cuttings
| and II. C.. Turnhull and the Fisher estate. On
| the property recently bought by the company
near the corner of Boundary avenue and Oak
street, il Is designed TO build an Coulter depot"
| Passengers nj first will he conveyed from that
| point into the city by the horse railway cars
| Connection will be made there with the Park
| avenue line, and it is understood il is intended
to construct track from the Charles street cars,
up Boundary avenue to the new depot. Mr..
| Chas. b. MCLEAN, county surveyor, has been APP
pointed to make surveys upon the road from the
| GunpOwdcr to Baltimore.
