THE TROLLEY WILL BE EERE IN
THE GOOD OLD SUMNER TIME"

A'e-nAC oDkAtC AClAllc alu duAuOilldN]ft
statement with reference to the con
Istruction OF Brunswick's new trolle!
line we have been silent on that Yerl
interesting subject. Because Of the
many and complex questions the pro-
moters Of this great enterprise hay,
had to deal and because of other con
siderations leading up to the ratlfca-
ton Of The contract by the people, al
combined with an unusual fnancia
panic We have thought best to keeE
, silent on the subject until we could
either hand out to the people some
thing really interesting and sometRin
good or something equally uninterest-
ing and bad. We are pleased to an
nounce this morning that we know
positively that the proposed trolley
line viii be built within the time spec
flied in the contract recently ratified
at the polls
In fact well-known local dnanciers
interested in the movement are now
in the city Of New York for the pur-
pose of closing up a few Of the mat
tiers necessary TO the actual construc-
ton of the work. The News is run
ming in its advertising columns petit
tion for charter for the City & Sub
urban Railway company, as the new
trolley line is 10 be known. and if the
name of such men as F. D. N.
Frank D. Aiken, z. F. Coney,
c. Downing, Albert Fendlg, r. E..
H. F. Dunwody, of this
city and George P. Walker, George
f. Armstrong and Harry G. Strachan,
of Chatham county, stand for anything
then there is not the slightest room
for doubt on the part of even the most
pronounced type Of the doubling
Thomas. We have learned a very
good lesson in the last few hundred
years OF our lives and one OF them IS
not TO state anything in this particu-
lar column unless we absolutely know
it to be fact, and more especially
when that subject has 10 dc with such
a progressive step as the building of
a trolley line in the city Of Bruins
wick.
1t was announced in our news col
umns several weeks ago that the im-
nense boilers to be used at the plant
OF the new trolley line mad already
been purchased. 1t is also true that
other material incident 10 the con-
OF the line has been ordered
and is due to arrive here at most
any time. The line Is to be built in
strict conformity with the contract
granted ly council and ratified by the
voters Of the city That it Will prove
to be a material factor in the revival
of local industries there can be no
question; that it WEI come in the ma
ture OF great improvement to Bruins
wick bringing the suburban section
of the city in close proximity with Inc
business and residential centsrs. in
creasng the value OF that class OF
property, and at the same time pro-
viding safe, rapid and quick city yrsn-
sit is equally true.
We are Of the opinion that this an
nouncement ought to come in the ma
ture of a gratifying fact to the peo-
pie of Brunswick and it ought to fur
nish additional evidence for better
feeling among our own people As a
matter Of fact. we are too prone 10
look upon the dark side of our civic
picture anyway, and it is q great mis-
fortune that a percentage of the peo-
pie of Brunswick are inclined t. a
pessimistlc rather than to the more
cheerful and opposite view. No one
save those who are in close touch
with the present business condition
now prevailing and which has prevail
ed all over this country for two years
can have any adequate conception OF
what an arduous task it has been on
the part of the Brunswick gentlemen
named in bringing about this work
and furthering their obligations to the
people.
However. the hardest part Of the
task has been done and when the peo-
pie OF Georgia sojoun to ST. Simons
and Cumberland Islands next summer
the trolley line of the City & Sub
urban Railway will haul them to the
various steamer landings in Bruins
