Rumor has it that the Queen Anne
Railroad Company is contemplating
the building of a connecting line of
road from Milton to Milford bv wav of
brick granary, and that they will
ultimately continue the road northward
as far as Lebanon. The company sees
IN this project the way for an outlet

which can be secured by steamers. If
the project is carried through, as the
people of this section hope it speedily
may be, it will open up large section
OF country for market gardening and
small fruit. The line of the Queen
Anne road now covers a good section
OF farming land, but it does not have
the proper outlet. With good steamer
lines to meet the cars at Milford and at
Frederica and Lebanon, the success of
the enterprise would be assured
