Hagerstown evidently intends to, or
at least has some idea, of following
suit with Martinsburg in the way Of
an electric street railway. Our neigh
bors can well afford to have little
inconvenience with their streets being
torn up, as the enterprise will prove
invaluable to them. We are glad to
note that for once, at least in its time,
our city got ahead in the way of i'm
provements. The Mail Of yesterday
says:
Mr.. W. Roy Mitchell, representing
the Washington branch Of the. Edison
General Electric Company was in CON
ference with the officers Of Hagerstown
Street Railway Company. the prospect
is good for the building of the proposed
road in the spring. The result of the
conference was more satisfactory than
any yet held. The main, difficulty in
the way seems the requirement Of so
great an outlay of money before any
profit can be realized from the earn
ings Of the road. Mr.. G. w. Sebold
says that the Edison Company is will
ing to grant more liberal terms than
the Thompson Houston Company. It
is estimated that the cost of construct
ing the four miles Of road contemplate
ed would be about $4,000 with $685.
600 additional with the space between
the rails and is inches ON each side Of
the rails paved with fire. brick. The
Edison Company is willing to take up
a large share Of the bonds, providing
Hagerstown win take a share say
about $4,000. Another conference
will be held shortly and in the mean
time an effort win be made to secure 4
modification Of the present franchise.
