PENNSY CUTOFF
WORK WILL Be
DELAYED A YEAR

Lisbon, June 1S.-While construc-
tion work will not be started this year
the ultimate realization of the much
talked of Cleveland and Pittsburg and
Pittsburg cutoff from Smiths Ferry,
Pa, across Columbiana county to
Hanoverton, seems assured. Pennsyl-
vania agents, with Chief Engineer w.
H. Sample at their head, have been
quietly buying right Of way in the
southern part of the county for some
time which would seem to indicate
that the project will not be delayed
longer than next year at the farthest.
The Pennsylvania company has had
this project under consideration for
some time with view both of a more
direct route between Pittsburg and
Cleveland and points west of Alliance
on the FIT. Wayne road and of gaining
access to the vast coal deposits in the
heart of the county, which yet remain
undeveloped. Right of way is being
purchased in the name of the Canton
and East Liverpool Railway Company,
which was in the field few years ago
with project that reached a stage of
| advancement involving the purchase
of considerable right of way.
Although the work of obtaining
right of way is still being carried on
in the name of that company it is well
known that the transfers are being
negotiated for the Pennsylvania com
pany.
Farmers in the southern and west
ern part of the county are welcoming
the promised advent of the new line,
which will start an era of material de-
velopment in part Of the interior of
the county that abounds in natural re-
sources.
