THE NEW TROLLEY LINE
ODESSA, DEC. IA, 1900

1 ODESSAj Lee. Ii 1JUU.
Quite good deal Of argument relative
to the proposed trolley route running
through this town has been heard since
the recent visit of the representatives. of
the Company.
That the trolley would be an advant-
age to the town cannot be doubted and if
/ the proper route is taken there seems
little doubt that the investment would
be good one. The line has been run as
far as Delaware City and during the sum-
mer months the cars were taxed to their
utmost to accommodate the great numbers
who availed themselves Of the inexpen-
sive pleasure of run to Delaware City.
It is true that as the line goes farther
from the City the conditions change and
the reasons for a successful line from
Wilmington to Delaware City would not
becogent arguments for the extension of
the line to towns more remote.
The people will not adopt the trolley
as a means of passenger service from the
lower towns of New Castle county to
Wilmington, and as the freight service of
the trolley system is'not as yet perfected
to an extent that would seem to justify a
line down the State in opposition to the
Penn. R. r. and as there is practically no
community of interest between the |
towns of Odessa and Smyrna or Della
ware City and Dover we cannot see how
this route would be a success, but the
conditions do favor very heavy local traf-
fc if the contemplated route should be
adopted leading from Delaware City to
Port Penn and Augustine Park, Odessa
and Middletown, thence into the wealthy
and thickly populated section of Della
ware and Maryland Immediately west of
Middletown, which is entirely without
communication of any kind.
Augustine Park would draw great
many people from the towns above men
toned, the railway would supplant the
old hack route from Odessa and Port
Penn to Delaware City. It would get not
only the passenger traffic between Odessa
and Middletown, but would carry the
freight for the merchants of the latter
town which comes to Odessa by steam
boat and is now hauled in wagons. 1t
would bring to Middletown great num-
bers o. people from Maryland who
patronize the large store there and if con-
jinued to Georgetown would establish di-
rect communication between Baltimore
md Philadelphia.
This is the age Of progress and we
want trolley. The people are interested :
md will do all in their power to make
success of it if the promoters can be in
luced to extend their line.
