Public Spirited Citizens Determined to
Have q Trolley Line.-Determined to ex-
tend and develop railway traffic from Overlea
to the Gunpowder, even at the price of being
obliged to operate their own railway system,
number of residents along the Belair road and
through the territory mentioned recently or.
ganized the Belair Road Improvement and
Railway Extension Association. While rail-
way development is its primary object, the
mount aim of ultimately developing the entire
neighborhood, to transform it into prosper
Gus and healthful community of truck gar.
deners and attract many others in search of
country homes to the neighborhood.
The object of the association, as given by
the secretary. Mr.. ID. F. Orr, is "for the pur
pose of banding together all the owners and
occupants of property on and near the Belair
road from Overlea to the Gunpowder into
solid and aggressive body to prevail upon the
management of the United Railways Com
pany to extend its line from Overlea, its pres
ent terminal, to the Grnpowder, and to extend
the line on the Hartford road from Carney, the
present terminal to parallel the line on the
Belair road and connect both lines by making
a loop from the Belair road to the Hartford
road line enabling cars to continue on out the
Belair road to the Gunpowder, thence to the
Hartford road, thence into the city and vice
versa"
Should such an arrangement be made, it is
claimed by the members of the association, it
would open up valuable section and bring it
in close touch with the city, thus making it
possible for many persons to purchase small
tracts of land for farming and residential pur-
poses.
"Should the proposition. when made FEAST
BILE and practicable, be rejected by the United
Railways Company" significantly declared
Mr. Orr, land the company refuses to extend
its lines, it is the intention of the association
to procure a charter and get the capital to
build and operate line from the center of
Baltimore city on and over the route desired
as far as it may be practicable"
