John c. Welty w. II. Hoover and
Charles A. Kolp have been granted q
franchise by the commissioners Of Tus-
carawas county for the erection of an
electric line from New Philadelphia
through Tuscarawas county to the
Stark county line near Beach City.
Charles A. Kolp, Of Canton, w. II.
Hoover, of New Berlin, L. Z. Meyers,
of Chicago, and Chauncey Eldridge, of
New York, were at New Philadelphia
Thursday and consulted with the COM
missioners. There is said to have
been considerable opposition from the
street railway people who are erecting
a line in that city. but it availed moth
ing as far as preventing the granting
Of the franchise.
The commissioners required the de-
posit Of $1,000 cash and bond in the
sum of $4,000 as guarantee OF good
faith. This amount is to be forfeited
in case the conditions are not carried
out.
From New Philadelphia to Canal
Dover the company has secured pri-
vate right of way over the new boule-
ward that is to be opened up between
the two cities.
Mr.. Charles A. Kolp, secretary of
the company, was seen upon his re-
turn to the city. He said:
"This is simply an extension of the
Canton-Akron line and was contem-
plated when the company was first
formed and incorporated. We are to
have the southern line completed in
nine months. according to the condi-
tions of the franchise. and just as soon
as we complete the grading on the
Akron line we will move the contract
ors and their men down on the other
line. We will have our labor organ
ized, which will be a big advantage
and do away with all delays.
Work north of Canton is being push
ed rapidly. Monday quite a number
of additional laborers will go to work
Some will be from Akron and others
from Canton. Contractor McCafferty
with his teams will begin Monday
morning.
when the line is completed we will
give longer ride for five cents than
any line in the country. One can ride
from half way to Richville to half way
to New Berlin for nickel when the
line is completed. kOur power house
and central offices will be located in
Canton, and this city will be the center
of the SYSTEM"
