TROLLEY LINE TO DILwoRTH.
Company Must Build by Jan. I or For
felt Franchise Extension.

Fargo.-The first move toward the
building of an interurban electric line
out<of this city was made when the city
council extended the franchise of the
Fargo & Moorhead Street Railway
company for a period of twenty-five
years. The extension of The franchise
becomes null and void after Jan. 1,
provided the new line is not built to
Dilworth, a distance of four miles,
by that date. Similar action will un.
doubtedly be taken by the city council
of Moorhead at its next meeting.
The building of the line has become
imperative from the fact that the pres.
ent means of conveyance to Dilworth,
the railway shop train, will be done
away with on Jan. 1. Should the street
railway not extend, it is estimated
that 1000 persons who now reside in
Fargo or Moorhead will be compelled
to live in Dilworth.
Former Congressman Comstock pre-
diets that the building of the line to
Dilworth will be the beginning of a
network of lines that within the life
of the present generation will link all
Red River valley points.
