TOLEDO TO WATERLOO.
Preliminary Survey for the Proposed
Line Well Under Way.
Gnecial IN Times II ap1Iblirap

Traer June 2.-The Toledo Electric
company started a corps of surveyors
out over the route OF their proposed
electric railway line from Toledo to
Waterloo, the last of the week and the
party will probably reach Traer to-
day. Chas. p. Chase, of Clinton. is the
engineer in charge and is assisted by
q force of ten men. The line so far
as run is as follows: Starting north
out CT Toledo it follows the Deer creek
valley for about three miles, then
takes a northeasterly direction along
Jordan for about four miles, where
the ascent ends and it runs on the
level a mile and half east of Crystal
to the Wolf creek valley which it
follows to Traer, entering the town on
the west side at some point to be Sc
lected by the engineer when they
reach this place. a second survey is
contemplated which will come out OF
Toledo on the same route, branch off
ten miles southwest of here and come
into Traer on the east side of the town
Should the promoters of the enterprise
deem it advisable, third survey pass
ing thru Dysart may also be made.
The survey now being made is pre-
liminary and is made for the purpose
of determining what grades and fills
would be necessary along the different
routes under consideration. 1t is the
plan of the company to construct q
road that will handle freight as well
as passenger business and they do not
expect to have any heavier grades thar
is found in ordinary steam railway
For q part of the way
between Traer and Toledo their sur
vey follows the line of the old railway
grade. Judge Caldwell and w. II.
of Toledo, who are con
nected with the enterprise We're in
town yesterday and stated that right
Of way thirty-six to sixty feet in width
would be wanted for the road.
