RAILROAD FACILITIES WANTED
Patriot" writes to the Baltimore Sun
as follows: 'The idea has recently
been expressed that better facilities
for steamboats, at Light-street wharv-
es would enable us to hold the traffic
with the Eastern Shore. If we look
at the map we will see that our
steamboats, can only reach about 6OO,-
900 acres of improved land, while the
railroads drain over 5000, 600 acres.
If the trade of the former section is
worth an effort, and if this effort is to
be made by the city, why is it not
worth the effort to regain the whole ?
Boats cannot complete with railroads
in carrying freights, as is shown by
the financial condition of all our great
canals. Our competition for the trade
of the peninsula by boats with that of
Philadelphia and New York by rail
is like the miner gathering out-crop-
pings compared with the one diving
directly into the vein. In order to
obtain our proper share of the East
ernShore trade we must furnish MOTH
ing less than an al!-raiI communities
ton with the peninsula. sapping it in
all directions. and if our business men
could be made to realize how small an
effort is required they would be NOR
tilted at their own apathy and that of
their predecessors. While advocat-
ing the establishment of q railroad, |
would also advocate giving our boats
all facilities. as 10 any event they
would get good paying trade"
As the short line railroad is being
constructed between Baltimore and
Annapolis, it viii be an easy matter
to cross the bay at this point to Kent
Island and construct q railroad
through the very centre Of the East
ern Shore to The capes of the Chesa-
peake, if deemed necessary. This
would give Baltimore merchants all
the trade Of that prosperous section
Of our State, which has been forced
10 Philadelphia By foresight the Of the
Pennsylvania railroad
We have no appeal to make to Bal
timore business men, They have
''only money enough 70 carry On their
own business!''
