Captain John Mcleod Murphy, con-
tractor of the Delaware General Elec-
trio Railway Company, now construct
ing line between Milford and Wood
land Beach, was in Smyrna Saturday
and made the TIMES Office call. He
gives positive assurance that the troll
ley will be built and thinks it is only
question of short time before the line
is complete south from Delaware City
to Rehoboth. Work is being pushed
rapidly at Dover and he says by the
middle of August tracks will be laid
on Main and Commerce streets of this
town. He expects to have the line in
operation by November. During Cam
den Camp he purposes having cars run
from Dover to the camp grounds, a
special Westinghouse generator being
used temporarily until the completion
of the power plant.
Mr.. Robert w. Reynolds, of Fred |
erica, was a visitor to Smyrna yester-
day. He called at the TIMES Office |
and also on several who are still alive
whom he knew in his younger days.
He was a resident of Smyrna fifty
years ago, a clerk in the store of Col
Geo. w. Cummins, and full of the
animation that characterized the clerks
of that period. His life has been a
successful one, and he looks as if the
increasing years were not getting bur-
densome
