capitalists, who are interested in the pro-
posed Washington, Westminster and Gettys'
burg Railroad, route for which is now be-
ing surveyed through this county, were IN
Rockville last Saturday in the interest OF the
road Mr.. Colgrove stated that the route
beginning at Washington Grove and run
ming by Damascus, this county, to Gettys'
burg, will In all probability be selected.
He said that the company prefers the
route which has already been surveyed, be-
ginning at Rockville and running by Lay
louisville to the same terminus, but because
Of the exorbitant prices asked by the land
owners, for rights Of way, the company was
compelled 70 abandon that route. Mr.. Col.
grove stated that the road IS a certainty, and
that work upon 1t will begin in the near
future and pushed rapidly 10 completion
The road will be about 100 miles in length
and will be as we'll constructed as any rail-
road 10 the country.
