planning For Electric Road On The
Eastern Shore.

1t is reported the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' and the Travellers and Mer-
chants Associations, of Baltimore, work
ing together, have made plans for the
building of an electric line through the
Eastern Shore, with which they hope to
regain lost Eastern Shore trade and also
provide quick passenger service to that
section of the State.
The present plans of the new road indi-
cate that it will have as its southern termi-
nus Cambridge. From there it will go
through Easton, Centreville,. Church Hill
and Chestertown. 1t is planned 10 carry
it from the latter place to a point on the
Kent county shore, either above or below
COLCHESTER, where it will connect with a
ferry which will run across the bay to a
point near Bay Shore, where it will con-
meet with the lines of the United Railways
and Electric Company.
The run from the western shore over
across the bay to Kent county shore is
about eight or nine miles. This could be
made in 40 minutes. To save time of
unloading freight provision will be made
for loading the cars on to tracks of the
steamers, as is done by the New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk line from Cape
Charles to Norfolk. s
The run from the Kent county shore to
Chestertown is but few miles and the
rights of way along the line, it is said,
could be purchased for little money.
BY going through Church HILL Easton,
Centreville and Cambridge the projectors
hope the road will be able to draw all the
freight from that section and take it to
Baltimore, besides furnishing quick
freight line from Baltimore to the Shore.
If the present plan is carried through,
the new company will be in competition
with the Pennsylvania Railroad, which
has, it is charged. diverted the Eastern
Shore trade from Baltimore to Philadel-
phia by charging prohibitive rates to
Baltimore. VA
