ELKToN, December Is. 1892.
There is considerable talk of building rail-
road from Easton, Md, via Wye Mills, Center
vile. Church Hill and Chestertown, then via
the Baltimore and Delaware Bay railroad to
Lambsons and Galena. Cecilton, Elkton to
Singerlys on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
1t is suggested that Cecil county's unexpended
state fund of $50, 600 be expended for the sur
vey and construction Of that part of the pro-
posed new line far as Lambson's on the
Baltimore and Delaware Bay railroad, giving a
line of thirty-eigh; miles from Elkton to Ches-
tertown, leaving only about thirty-five miles to
construct between Chestertown and Easton.
This road would cross every branch line of the
eastern shore counties and cut off trade and
travel now forced to the Delaware railroad.
The new road would take in every town ex-
cept Cambridge and Denton and would traverse
the best and most populous parts OF the counties
on the eastern shore. and gather freight and
passenger traffic and deliver the same to Singer
ly on the Philadelphia division of the Baltimore
and Ohio. two miles north of Elkton.
