BOYDS. Nd. March 3, 1903.
Next Saturday afternoon another meet
ing of the Washington, Frederick and
Gettysburg railroad is to be held at
Jamestown. Montgomery county. at
which big attendance is looked for. as
the rivalry between the Jacksonville and
Seneca people will be shown and it will
be decided through which place the line
will run. The first meeting was held at
Seneca and money was subscribed for the
surveys and the Seneca people thought
they would get the road. When the sur
yey was made a route was chosen through
Pcolesville thence on almost an air line
to Jacksonville, Jamestown and Potomac,
and to a place near Great Falls. where
the road was to cross the Potomac and
connect with the Old Dominion line. This
eliminated Seneca and made the Senecans
rise up and. protest. with the result that
the surveyors were called back and made
another survey, this time eliminating
Dawsonyille. This will be settled at the
meeting at Jamestown.
