PROPOSED NEW RAILRoAD.-TO Run
From Laurel to the Chesapeake BGy-A
special meeting of the representative
men of the Peninsula was held at Dow
er Thursday, fof the purpose of run.
ming a railroad from there to the Ches-
apeake Bay, to be known as the Lau-
rel and Roaring Point Railroad. A
charter will be asked for from the Leg
islature and work will be commenced
at once.
The proposed road will open up one o.
the finest fruit-growing sections in the
country, the soil being admirably adOp
ted for the purpose of fruit growing
and truck raising. Besides this sOmt
of the finest oyster beds in the world,
will be brought into daily connection
with the city markets.
Enough capital has already beer
subscribed to build the line. 1t i
thought by many that when the rOat
is completed the Baltimore and Ohi'
railroad company will apply for char
ter for line to parallel the Delawar
road and to connect with this road ant
other branches which will be built i
the near future.
