Delay in Extension of the Tenleytown Roat
to Rockville.

Anticipated-ImprOv of
Great Falls Road.

The work on the extension of the George
town and Tenleytown railroad to Rockville
has met with an obstacle it is stated, and
the work is delayed accordingly The trouble
is said to be with the turnpike company.
The intention of the railroad syndicate was
to have the road completed early this fall,
but it may be delayed much longer. 1t Is
said that, indirectly, the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad is behind the whole matter,
not relishing the idea of having the electric
line compete with it for the business of the
county seat of Montgomery county.
The work on improving the Great Falls
electric road has commenced, and before
long a double track will be laid between
the Georgetown terminal and the point
where the double track commences inside
the District line. LaborerS have been at
work for several days grading additional
space for the extra track.
