The Ashland-Centralia Road.

1t was expected, says the Ashland Tele-
gram, that meeting between the officials of
the Schuylkin Traction Company and the
Shamokin-Mt. Carmel Electric Railway people
would be held in that town yesterday, but it
failed to take place. 1t is said that no move
will be made in connecting the two lines
unless the business people of the two towns
evince an interest in the matter by putting
money in the project This they have shown
no intention of doing, and until they do the
officials say they will not take any further
steps. From present appearances it is ex-
tremely doubtful that the connecting link
will be built.
