PROBABLE ELECTRIC RAILWAY TO BEL All

PROBABLE ELECTRIC RAILWAY TO BEL AIR.
Among the new Developments in electric
railway building is a projected line from Bal
timore to Jerusalem Mills, in Hartford county,
about five miles southwest of Bel Air. Mr..
Simon j. Martenet, of Baltimore, represents
the capitalists, who are interested in building
the road, and deed and agreement between
the Baltimore and Jerusalem Turnpike Com
pany and him was filed for record in the
Clerks office at Towson last Wednesday.
The deed empowers the promoters of the
enterprise to construct an electric railway
over the entire length of the turnpike, and it
is said work on it will be commenced as soon
as possible. 1t will traverse prosperous and
beautiful country, thickly settled and healthy.
If it should be completed to Jerusalem it will
be comparatively an easy matter to continue
it to Bel Air. The Baltimore and Lehgh
would then be compelled to broad guage its
tracks or lose large part OF its business. 1t
is proposed to build six miles of it at first,
three miles of which will be double tracked.
Mr.. Martenet says the new corporation will
be separate and distinct, and will have no con-
nection with any existing city or suburban
lie. 1t must eventually form part of great
through line between Washington and New
York
