Active Work on Suburban Electrics.

Saturday afternoon l1sley and Cum
mings the civil engineers, were out on
the Yarmouth road making a final survey
of the road before the work of construc-
tion of the Portland and Yarmouth cleo
trio road is commenced. BY the terms
of the agreement the Yarmouth road is
obliged to build four miles outside of the
limits of Deerine before it can enter the
city and this road must also have laid six
miles outside of Portland before it can
enter Portland. This makes the work Of
construction very costly to the Yarmouth
road as they are obliged to haul their
material out to Yarmouth and work this
way. Once tho work is DOM lnenoed
though it will be pushed forward with
great rapidity.
The Portland and Cape Elizabeth road
began the first of the week on their ex-
tension to Pond Cove and by Saturday
night had made great progress. This road
will be in operation before the first of
July and will doubtless prove a great
drawing card and increase the travel over
the Cape road by a good many hundreds
during the year.
The Portland and Caps Elizabeth road
will soon construct double track
through Broadway which will be used
exclusively for all excursion traffic to
and from the Willard Casino. This
double track will be in readiness for use
by the time the summer business starts
up.
On Fast day the Cape road did an i'm
mense business. On thu last car out Of
Willard that night 1870 fares were COL
Looted before the car reached Portland.
