Halifax Journal: We learn through private
and reliable sources that survey has been
ordered from Eau Galhe TO DeLand by Mr..
Flagler. This undoubtedly means a more
direct line for the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West through the orange belt, q con-
nection with the San Mateo branch and thence
TO 1t. Augustine. Incidentally this also means
the abandonment of the line from Palatka to
the Tomoka or some intermediate point, and
the running OF the East Coast line of railway
directly down the coast, thus shortening that
line some fifty miles, and developing a much
better country than that through which 1t
now runs So much good. Now for the bad
features, 1t also means, beyond question, the
monopoly Of the railroad interests between
the ST. Johns river and the Atlantic for there
VIII be no room for competing line. This,
or course, means no competition in freight or
passenger traftic and continuance of high
rates.
