ELECTRIC RAILROAD.
A Meeting to Be Held Next Week to Further the
Building OF the Westminster and Union
Mills Line.

A meeting to further advance the prospects
of building the Westminster and Union Mills
Electric Railway will he held here next week.
Prominent speakers will be present to address
the meeting. Due notice of time and place
will be given by circulars.
The people up in Pennsylvania are evincing
much interest in building the line from Get
tysburg to Littlestown. Taneytown wants
the road to come there and thence to West
minister. and her citizens have offered to take
500, 900 of the bonds if the road is built that
way. Littlestown is subscribing literally to
secure the line, and the people between here
and Union Mills, and at Union Mills, are
doing admirably to secure the road via that
place and Littlestown. The citizens of Silver
Run and vicinity are DESTROYS of having an
electric railroad also.
When the subscription lists are finally
turned in, and the amounts subscribed known,
it may be possible to arrange system OF roads
that will give rapid and cheap transit to all
chief towns in upper Carroll. No canvass OF
Westminster has yet been made, but num-
Der of citizens have signi6ed their intention
of subscribing to the stock, and we have no
doubt that a very considerable sum can be
raised. As subscriptions are not payable
| until the road is built, no money will be
! wasted in experiments. Every man who
subscribes does so with the understanding
that the subscription is only binding if the
road is built Under these circumstances
every property owner and business man in
| Westminster should aid the enterprise by
taking stock commensurate with the benefits
to be derived, and if all will do this we have
no doubt that the road will be speedily built
Union Mills and the people on the proposed
route 10 Westminster have set us a good ex-
ample, and we have no doubt that the people
between here and Resterstown will also sub
scribe goodly sum.
! At the meeting next week the plans and
purposes, cost and benefits of the road will be
as fully discussed as it is possible now to do
so. 1t is time Westminster should be doing
something. and we feel sure her citizens will
not be behind when the matter is fully pre-
sented n them.
