"A year ago THE UNION called attention to
the bad condition of South avenue, which ex-
tends from the York to the Hillen road, in Tow
son. Nothing was done to put this thoroughfare
in shape, and of course it is much worse row
than it was then. This avenue cost the county
about 5000, and now it is being allowed to
go to rack and ruin to save the expenditure of
a few dollars. This is very poor economy, to
say the least.
Susquehanna Power in Baltimore
The Belair Democrat of last week said the Nc
Calls Ferry Power Company, whose extensive
electrical development is in progress at McCalPs
Ferry, has entered into an agreement with the
United Railways and Gas Company of Balti-
more to supply current for lighting and mo-
tive power for the city of Baltimore. The
agreement was reached last week and the work
on the great dam and the installation of the
necessary machinery will be completed in
about eighteen months. The United Com
pany has the exclusive right to the electricity
from Washingtons Monument, Baltimore,
which will take in Belair and many suburban
places about the city.
1t is said and believed in well-informed cir
cles that the Md. & Pa. r. r. will be converted
into an electric railway as far as Belair and
eventually to York and that plans have been
prepared and approved looking to this improve
ment in the near future. The same interests
which control the railways of Baltimore domi-
nate the Md. & Pa. r. R., and it is believed
that it is only matter of short time before
the improvement is made and the two run

pense to both.
