Railroad to Arlington.
The Potomac Electric Light Company have
been approached by those interested in the
Washington and Arlington road with the
object in view Of ascertaining whether or
not power could be obtained through their
plant for the operation of their railroad.
Mr.. John e. Beall of the Tenleytown rail-
road has also been approached on the same
subject. He stated as his company was al
ready engaged in furnishing power, both
for the Bethesda and Glen Echo lines, the
corporation would not be able to furnish
additional power without purchasing addi-
tional engines and generating machinery.
Mr.. Greenlees, the receiver of the Arlington
road, which was sold at public auction last
Saturday, with it's operating machinery, for
s., 500, has not yet been relieved by the
courts and will not be until the sale is rati-
fed. Ratification should take place within
thirty days. Should the Potomac Electric
Company or the Tenleytown road decide to
furnish power to the Washington and Airing
ton, 1t would cost much less than would
be required to maintain a plant Of their
own.
