WORK, RUSHED N.THE LINE.
Col. Fuccy Rushing the Grading on
the Weston Electric Line.

Work on the street car line from
Clarksburg to Weston Is progressing
very rapidly. Col. Joe Fuccy, grade
contractor, has taken good advantage
of the fine weather Of the past month
and while the sun shines he has lost
no effort TO press the work as fast
as possible. 1t is his intention to have
the grading completed to Mt. Glare by
the first Of the year, or sooner II the
weather remains favorable. Work on
the bridges at the Hoff farm and
Lynch mine is about half completed
and in about ten. days the placing of
the rails and ties will begin.
For the present the terminal will be
the Hutchinson Coal Company's store
at Mt. Glare. While the objective point
is Weston 1t will probably be n year
before the work will begin on the OK.
tension of the line TO that place. The
company desires the best route pos
