years. According to the views of these
men, the progress OF the development of
that section will largely be affected by the

the city by permitting the cars of that
company to cross the bridge to Georgetown.
but it will enable new company that has
been formed under the laws Of Virginia
for the building of an electric road. to Great
Falls to secure the necessary funds to
prosecute that work.
any company that proposes to use the
bridge must deposit with the District Com
missioners within ninety. days Of the pass
age OF the act the SUM Of $4,000. which
it is estimated win be the cost Of making
the necessary changes in the bridge to
prepare it for this new mode Of traffic
To Great Falls.
II Is proposed by the Great Falls and
Old Dominion Railroad Company to utilize
the right Of way that has been secured on
the Virginia side of the river as far as
Great Falls and build substantial double
track electric road. which will begin at
the Georgetown end Of the Aqueduct bridge
and terminate on the banks of the Great
rails. distance of about fourteen miles,
The route chosen follows the river bank
put at a distance of mile mile and
a half the greater portion Of the way The
line of the new road lies about midway be-
tween the river and the steam railroad to
LeeSburg.
1t is also contemplated to build a branch
line which will leave the main road at
Lewfnsville and run to Fairfax Court House
via Vienna. The cost of the work, it is esti-
mated, will be about $500, 600, which in
cludes power house. to be erected at some
Three Sisters Island.
In addition to opening up this secti.,~ of
the country and providing facilities for
reaching the city 1T is thought the trip to
Great FANS Will prove to be such an at
traction that the line will become a great
excursion route. The distance in point of
time from the city to Great Falls, it is be-
lieved, can be brought down to less than
three-quarters of an hour.
