Early Extension Of the Georgetown
and Tenleytown Railroad.

Mr.. Louis P. Hall, manager of the George.
town and Tenleytown Railroad, visited
Rockville last Tuesday and closed con.
tract looking toward the grading of that
portion of the old Rockville and George
town turnpike from short distance below
Montrose postoff1ce to Rockville, distance
OF something over three miles. The extra
grading will be done by the railroad com.
pany. The County Commissioners recently
made bond issue Of $25, 900 for grading the
pike, but with this limited sum the grade
planned for was about per cent-that is
nearly six feet fall in every 100 feet of
roadway. This was regarded entirely too
steep grade for the electric road, per cent
being regarded as about right.
The County Commissioners could not
spend the funds to establish this grade, and
the railroad company was not permitted to
make per cent grade on one portion of
the pike while the other portion would be 8
per cent grade. Accordingly, the railroad
will grade all Of the road, making it 3 per
cent, and the contract having been closed
Tuesday morning work will be commenced
without loss of time and pushed forward to
completion.
The preliminary survey for the extension
of the present railroad from Bethesda Park
to Rockville has been made, and with the
grading of the road detailed survey will be
made for the location OF the tracks. The
rails for the extension have already been
ordered, and contracts for the furnishing of
a suitable number of ties will soon be let.
1t is expected the entire extension will be
completed before the close of summer, and
that by fall everything will be in running
order.
The new road will be a trolley line, with
the extension double track throughout. The
work will commence at Bethesda Park, and
continue northward along the road until
within short distance from its intersection
With the old Georgetown pike. Crossing
land acquired by purchase, the railroad will
come out on the pike some distance below
Montrose postotfice, and thence continue to
AsoNANiiC, sCSuilub III SutiuuCC ihtu anu
through the town.
The whole road from Georgetown to Rock
willie will be equipped with new rolling
stock, and will have all the appointments OF
an up to.date railroad. In addition to this,
arrangements will be made, it is understood,
whereby system OF transfers will be estab-
lshed permitting passengers to get u con-
tinuous ride on either the Metropolitan or
the Capital Traction Company road.
Regarding the Great Falls Electric Road
nothing definite has as yet been announced
but it is stated that double track all the
way TO Cabin John Bridge will be installed
the present season by the new management.
No effort, it is said, will be made toward
continuing the line to Great Falls in the
early future, but this is contemplated part
OF the syndicate's plans
