Jefferson Traction Company to Begin Work
Within Thirty Days or Franchise
Null and Void.

Last Saturday afternoon ]. X.
Womeldorf and Joseph Johnston,
supervisors of Winslow township,
granted the jefferson Traction Co. the
franchise for trolley line from Reyn-
oldsville borough through Prescottville,
Rathmel and Skunk Hollow to Clear
field county line, and from Prescottvllle
to Soldier and Sykesville.
The company is to begin work on the
proposed trolley line within 30 days
and to have it completed within 1S
months, or the francise is null and void.
We have known for some weeks that
the jefferson Traction Co. have been
contemplating the extension Of their
line to Soldier and Sykesville, and have
no official authority now that the line
will be extended, but the fact that a
Reynoldsville attorney secured the
above franchise for this company Is
certainly good evidence that they in
tend extending the trolley line. We
may be able 20 give our readers some
positive facts concerning this matter
next week.
