ing here Monday evening and passed an
ordinance granting to the Washington and
Rockville Electric Railway Company the
right to extend its road from its present
terminus at the fair grounds along the
main street of Rockville far the
court house. The company agrees to con-
tinue the road throughout the entire length
of the town just as soon as the law pre-
venting the construction of an electric
railway any street less than thirty feet
in width is repealed. The action of the
town council will have to be ratified by
majority of the taxpayers of the town. and
an election for that purpose will be held at
the earliest date possible under the law.

indorse the action of the council and the
work of extending the road Will be begun
