TROLLEY FOR THE CAMP
EFFORTS TO BUILD WEST CHEs-
TER LINE IN TIME
FOR THE MEETINGS AT BRANDY
WINE SUMMIT-RIGHT OF WAY
NOW BEING OBTAINED.

If the proposed electric railway line
to West Chester, by way Of the Con-
cord pike, is completed before August
this years camp meeting at Brandy
wine Summit will be the most success
ful ever held on the grounds there.
Samuel II. Baynard, one of the camp
association trustees, is hopeful that the
line will be completed before the camp
opens James II. Hoffecker Jr., and
John ID. Riggs, the latter of Philadel-
phia, who are interested in the line,
have been appealed to by the camp
meeting association to have the line
in operation by the last of July, and the
railway men are doing all in their
power to accommodate the camp meet
ing people. The work of obtaining the
right of way for the line is now being
actively done, and if completed before
the last of this month, which is prob
able, the line could be built and oper-
ated before the Brandywine Summit
meeting begins. The railway could not
be finished by that time, but it would
be in such a condition as would permit
the operation Of cars to Elam. half a
mile from the camp grounds. This. the
camp meeting managers say, would
blodtle utntnL AutIls ntF dIt tA-
pecting to hear from Mr.. Riggs every
day concerning the arrangement the
United Power and Traction Company,
which corporation controls the Will
mington City Railway Company, will
make with the West Chester company
concerning a transfer of passengers
at the city line on the Concord pike.
The annual meeting of the camp
meeting managers will be held at
Brandywine Summit on May 8. at
which meeting matters pertaining to
the camp will be discussed. If by that
time, the West Chester railway is as
lsured, the trustees will make extensive
Improvements to the camp grounds,
build many new tents. and will put in
charge of the meetings to be held there
a preacher who will make the camp of
1900 the most successful one in the his
tory Of the association.
