LINE. IS FAVORED
Much Interest is Being Shown in Pro-
posed interurban Between Wat
ert0Wn and Morrison.
CASH GIVEN FOR SURVEYS
Residents of Towns Along Line Are
Raising $4,000 to Make Pre-
urinary Maps of Route.

Promoters of the proposition to con-
struct an interurban line between Wa
tertown and either Savanna or Nor
rison state that the project has met
with such great favor that if things
move as rapidly as they are now, the
line will be built and in operation nexs
fall. The indications are that the pro-
motors will have no difficulty in Sc
curing the necessary cash to put
through the preliminary survey and
have the estimates made. The prelim-
mary survey will cost about $4,000.
The money is not to be turned over to
the company until the survey is COM
plete, and the company is organized
to construct the road. The subscrib-
ers to the fund are to meet in a few
days and name a trustee to have
charge of the cash until the work is
completed.
The Proposed Route.
the promoters of the line, states that
the route east of Albany has not beer
determined. The route will be from
