The Morgantown street car line,
while 1t is simply of that city at this
time, will undoubtedly at some not
very far distant day be connecting
link for long chain OF electric roads
which, promoters say, Will reach from
Buckhannon TO Pittsburg. or course
the roads which are now being talked
of will probably not be realized for
some years. But there are number
OF capitalists who do not hesitate to
say that within five years IT will be
possible to ride on the electric trolley
car from the Smoky City to the high
lands OF Upshur, says the Fairmont
Times.
The proposed line from Pittsburg to
Uniontown, Pa, is well under way and
will be in operating order within. .
year, 1t is said, and efforts are being
put forth to complete IL much sooner
than that time.
From Uniontown TO Point Marion
company Is figuring on building line
and 1t Is said on the best authority
that this will be done soon, and may
be within the year or recent months
talk Of this line has been renewed with
much enthusiasm and capitalists with
ample money to carry out the work are
interested in II.
From Peint Marion to Morgantown,
1t ls stated, the Morganfown people
will build line In the next two years,
and possibly before then. 1t is stated
that New York capitalists have re-
Gently been over the route with pro-
motors OF the Morgantown company,
aud while nothing positive or definite
was given out 1t was learned officially
that the intention is to construct the
road.
1t has been known for months, and
was printed In the Times several
months ago, that company will soon
be in the field to build line from
Fairmont to Rivesville. THE compa-
ny, or set OF men, who are interested
In lines, will, undoubtedly, 1t Is said,
organize and get ready for business In
the next year at farthest, and when
they build line to Rivesville they
will undoubtedly run 1t on to Morgan
town.
Speaking Of Fairmont- Morgant0wn
trolley, Manager Smith Hood, ST., of
the Fairmont and Clarksburg Street
Car Company, said to Times report
err:
81 do not believe that right now q
trolley from Fairmont to Morgantown
would be paying investment, but the
time is coming when such line will
not only be a paying property, but
will be necessary property and viii
without doubt be constructed within
the next year or So"
"It must be remembered that the
Monungahela valley is developing at 3
rate that was never dreamed OF very
few years ago, and 1t will not be long
till there will be dozens OF towns built
at places where now they are never
thought Of With this development
will come trolley roads.
$50 far as / could say officially /
do not know Of any projected lines
which will be built Immediately ex-
cept our own Fairmont- Clarksburg
line, but that more will be built Il
next to certain"
From Fairmopt to Clarkaburg there
will be cars running within no very
great time, and from Clarksburg to
Buckhannon 1t is stated that q road
will positively be constructed within
two years. The company has been or
ganized and some OF the money
raised.
