Summer-Start made on road Which
will Eventually reach Morgantown.
The first steam shovel of dirt has
been thrown over the hillside to-
wards demolishing the point be,
tween the Umpire mine and the bot
tom land alongside the Baily home
stead and the work has been started
in earnest by the contractor with IA
large force of men says the Browns
vile Monotor.
The hill point will be removed
entirely, including several feet be-
You'd the railroad tunnel, exposing
that and clearing It away to level
ground which will make the tracks
form complete ~ leading from
town, turning for Uniontown is one
direction, while the other will cross
the railroad bulge into the lower
end of West Brownsville, and the
straight ahead track will lead to
Fayette City and on to Pittsburg.
1t is understood and believed that
the Lake Erie railroad people only
control the road from Albany down,
while the Pennsylvania will build
and operate from that point on up
the river, still there will be union,
or we might say, consolidation of
their interests, thereby giving the
line greater force, better mana ge-
ment, with every modern equipment
and an unlimited amount of capital
to make it the best in the valley and
and It will be, when completed.
Aside from the fact that the point
of the hill will be cleared as q me-
cessity to make room for proper and
convenient train communication
into and out of town, it will prove in
scenic point of view an advantage
to the town in the way of an exposed
view from this place toward the
valley at the mouth of the Redstone
creek, making clear sight as well
of the beautiful Typographical coun-
try beyond, thereby making that
particular section of our river APP
pear broader and grander, and an
ideal spot that would make an ideal
picture, thus bringing about the
beauty as well as the utility that
the change will make.
The bottom land over which tina
road will BE made will be filled In by
the dirt taken from the bill to the
present grade OF the road to Albany
and the side OF the river will also be
filed all the way into town, making
room for another track. Every prep
aration will be made for good road
bel and one well protected from land
slides. While the contract has only
been given out for the grading and the
removal OF the hill point, as we'll as
the point just above the tunnel ON
the branch road to Uniontown that
the track may be Strengthened, 1t is
only a question OF a few days when the
contract will be awarded for the grad
ing OF the road through town on up to
Gates.
While no part of the architectural
work on the new depot on the rolling
mill property has. been decided upon,
still there is no doubt but what 1t will
Ut u StUbtdHtidi dHu uUuttu Due-
There is plenty Of room on that spot
for both freight and passenger depots
and 1t cannot be disputed that it is
the most central and available place.
That tt will be union one, and a
large one, we have never once doubted.
Without proper railroad facilities
where would we be today. To be sure
we have our river communication by
boats, but the river is not always open
to navigation, and before the Pennsvl-
vania railroad was constructed TO our
opposite shore, when the river was
closed we had to depend on stage
route from Uniontown, and that Is
not so many years ago. And now we
have have something stronger than
the promise of railroad on this side
OF the river, is almost practically
here, only question Of short time
when 1t will be completed.
