RAILS COMMENCED TO ARRIVE
FOR ELECTRIC ROAD.
The first installment ofithe rails to be
used in the construction of the West
brook, Windham and Naples electric rail-
road were received Tuesday afternoon in
Westbrook. Three carloads were received,
the same having been shipped from the
makers at Sparrow's Point, Maryland on
June 6. This is considered remarkably
quick time for the shipment. The second
installment OF the rails were sent the 7th
and it is the intention of the makers to
send several carloads each day until the
shipped. There are to be nineteen car
loads. so that the railroad company will
receive the rails nearly every day now for
o week. The trolley poles are being pre-.
pared for the men to set in q few days,
and the work of laying the rails will
commence at once. Contractor Mitchsil
is very enthusiastic about the prospects of
the new road and says thathe is confident
that the first five miles Of the road con-
tracted for will be completed the first
week in July. The power at first will be
furnished by the Westbrook Electric
Light and Power company for the first
five miles, but as the road is enlarged and
meets the power plant of the Cumberland
Illuminating company 1t is quite likely
that arrangements may be perfected with
that company for the power beyond
Windham.
