THE PROPOSED NEW RAILROAD
TO WESTMINSTER.

The project to build steam rail
road from Gettysburg to Washington
via Westminster, which has beer
talked of so many times, has recently
been revived, under conditions which
look more hopeful than at any period
previously.
The fact that this subject has been
in the thought of railroad people fol-
years, coming to the surface occasion
ally, shows that there must be some
substantial reason for the belief that
such road ought to be built:
Our people have always been inter-
ested in the building of this road, be-
cause they knew that it would give
a mighty impetus to our otherwise
delightful little city. While number
the successful outcome of the project,
it is to- the credit of the community,
and to the individuals themselves, that
we have always had some men opti-
mistic enough to believe that the thing
was feasible, and who were willing,
at the sacrifice of their time and their
money to encourage the enterprise
and give it a chance.
Such men are of great value to any
community. Except for them there
never would have been a mile of rail-
road built, nor telegraph or telephone
pole erected. They are the men who
stand in the very forefront of our ad-
vancing civilization. All honor to
them.
In response to a call of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
1f our city, a large and representa-
tive meeting of our citizens was held
at Firemen's Hall on Monday evening
last. A committee from that associa-
ton, through j. Milton Reifsnider
and W. Frank Thomas, made full
and interesting report of the present
condition of the railroad project,
which is about as follows:
a gentleman who has had large ex-
per;ence in railroad promotion and
construction and who has informed
tie committee that he can command
the financial backing to build the
road, proposes to enter upon the work,
provided he can secure the right of
way within the limits of the corpora
ton of Westminster, and for four
miles on either side of the town.
Arrangements were made to have
the exact survey at once entered upon
so that rights of way can then be So
licited That this road, if built, would
be of immense Importance to Westmin-
ster and to Carroll county there can be
no doubt, and it is therefore to the ad-
vantage of property owners and oui
city fathers, to give it the encourage
ment such a desirable proposition de
serves.
