 W O. Crisman, manager and chief engineer of the Pensacola Development Company, which owns what is known as Beach Haven, today announced that he had placed at work a force of men clearing the right of way for street railway line to extend from the Beach Haven tract to the line of the Pensa- cola Electric Co.,. from Barrancas to the city.
 The company also has contracted for getting out cross ties for the road. It is proposed by the company owning the Beach Haven property to run the line not only to the point named, but a mile or possibly two miles further, thus affording street car accommoda- tions for those who have purchased land in that section. Cars will be operated separately from those of the present street railway system, but a Junction will be erected at Palmetto Beach where passengers can board cars for the city.
