Trolley Road Prospect.

Either another bluff is being made.
or the long talked over trolley line from
Milford to Woodland Beach is about to
be built. For week past an attorney
for the New York stock holders with six
engineers and contractors, have been
at the Hotel Richardson, Dover, and
from there have thoroughly gone over
the proposed line The engineers and
contractors have made arrangements
with Dr. Sharpe, proprietor of the Hotel
Richardson, for seven months board for
the party and everything indicates that
the line will be built this summer.
There is universal desire in Eastern
Kent county that this trolley line shall
be built; but so many visions have van
ished that the people have lost conf
dence in its coming into being. We
shall welcome it and hope that before
the summer closes these cars NAV be
familiar objects to our people.
