RURAL TROLLEY LINES.
They Are OF Great Benefit TO Farmers
and Villagers and should BE
Encouraged.

Some Of the latest trolley road en-
terprises are likely TO be Of special
benefit TO small towns. Most Of the
earlier electric roads were built par
allel TO steam lines. connecting only
the cities and large towns already
provided with railroad facilities, and
directly useful TO such farmers only
who happened TO live on or near the
line Of the road. But most Of the
main towns being already connected
there is now a tendency TO reach out
and secure the business OF the farm
ing towns which have never had a
railroad of any kind. Already In
western Massachusetts,, in COnnecti-
cut and in parts of Maine new roads
are branching out In all directions,
bringing new life TO lonely communi-
ties and serving as feeders TO the
steam roads and the main street
lines. Many new projects are not
street lines at all, but 60 straight over
the fields and meadows, making cuts
and filings, when needed, at consid-
cradle cost. Suoh lines are capable
Of high speed and regular service.
Many a town will enjoy good passen-
GER facilities and often freight,
mail and express service by the con
struction of an electric road where
a steam road could never hope TO do
a paying business.-American Guilt
