Good Outlook for This Trolley Line
The Hampstead Enterprise of last week said :
THE meeting in the interest of the proposed
electric line from Hanover to Reisterstown,
that was held in Bortner's Hall last Saturday
night, was we'll attended and the deepest inter
est was manifested. The meeting was called
to order by DR.. James 81. Wilson, president of
the Baltimore and Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, that was organized in Reisterstown
Tuesday of last week, and after stating the OBJ
iect of the meeting he introduced Mr.. ]. E.
Masenhimer of Manchester, who fully and
forciby set forth the difficulties that have been
encountered in trying to get this electric line,
and the present plans and progress. He also
dwelt on the benefit this line will be to those
along the proposed route, and cited the results
of the electric system centeriDg in Lancaster
Pa, over which territory he made an extended
trip.
'.Mr. Masenhimer directed attention to the
fact that all that now remains to be done is to
secure the right of way through Baltimore
county from the Carroll county line to Refs.
terstown. When this is done the construction
company will be ready to commence work.
Manchester has already come to the front,
a number of her leading men having SUBJ
scribed literally to the stock of the construo-
ton company, and a number Of prominent
men in Baltimore county are ready to sub
scribe, while Hampstead people have an
nounced that they are ready to fall in line.

secured through Baltimore county from the
Carroll county line to Reisterstown, work will
be commenced all along the line and no doubt
within year the cars will be running
IA meeting of the turnpike Company will

the 10Th of this month, and committee was

NEE, with the pike company and open negotia-
tions for the use of the pike or right of way
along side of it, The fact that quite recently
the pike company was anxious to get rid of
the north end of this road at any price indi-
Gates that there should be no trouble in getting
the right of way at nominal price.
"a petition signed by virtually all the prop
erty owners along the pike in Baltimore coun-
ty from the Carroll county line to Reisters-
town, will be presented to the pike company
by the committee appointed by Dr.. Wilson.
The following is the committee: N. Fl. Bort
