WORK ON CAPE ELECTRICS.
The Cape Elizabeth electric company
are about to put to work a gang of men
to connect the double track as far as Fort
Preble corner. When this shall be done
there will be a double track from Fort
Preble to Knightville through Broadway
and Pickett streets. 1t is also proposed to
put cross-over at Smiths corner, and
this will give double track through
Village to Cottage street, thus insuring
a double track all the way from Knight
vile to Cottage street, except short
stretch of track running from Fort Preble
to Smiths corner, which is impracticable
for double track on account of the mar
row roadway.
i Poles have been distributed along the
line of the proposed extension over Meet
ing House Hill, but when the work will
be begun in good earnest is somewhat
problematical.
