TROLLEY SEEMS ASSURED
II BuiltlIt Will Be a Great Thing for the
People Of Sussex County

| Wright who was I'm Dover last night
attending the Democratic rally, has in
terested r. c. Pervis, a capitalist of
New Jersey. and several New York
iinanciers in his project to build AM
electric railway to carry passengers,
freight and express, from SsafOrd toI
Lewes and Rehoboth, touching at
Drawbridge, Milton and Georgetown.
This trolley project was started by
Senator Wright nearly four years ago,
when he succeeded in getting the edi-
tor Of the American Agriculturalist
and other agricultural writers inter
ested Almost Immediately HE began
receiving inquiries from Wall street
! investors and promoters. and the road
has now been financed, the only re-
quirement made by the capitalists be-
ing that Senator Wright and Mr.. Per-
Wis an expert in railroad building, get
the people, interested and have them
subscribe to some of the stock, in or
der to make it the peoples railroad.
The senator and Mr.. Pervis will ad
dress meetiRgs at Milton on Friday
afternoon, and at Lewes on Saturday
night. They are ready to capitalize
The road at $500 900. and to establish
pOwerhOuses at MiddlefOrd and Old
Furnace, where there are rapid
streams with sufficient power to move
the electrical machinery.
This is in no sense an opposition
railway project" said Senator Wright
. yesterday, but a movement that will
open up and develop a section of Della
ware. rich in opportunities, but
neglected because of the distance the
tillers Of the soil have to haul their
products to a railroad station. They
will now take up the growing of small
fruit, early vegetables and market pro-
duce of all kinds. because they can
b either reach the Pennsylvania railroad
or our line of steamers which we will
Z operate from Lewes to Philadelphia and
New York. An ordinary steamer, load
ed at Lewes by o'clock in the af-
ternOon. will be in New York city by
- o'clock that night, and will reach
Philadelphia at the same hour if load
ed at 6 o'clock"
