WILL BUILD I
LINE. At ONCE
NEW TRACTION COMPANY MEANS
BUSINESS = STOCK WILL BE
SOLD IMMEDIATELY.

A meeting OF the executive and man.
aging committees of the Grafton, Fair
mont & Clarksburg Traction Company
was held last night in the Offices OF
Charles l.. Sutherland at Morgantown.
Mr.. Sutherland is president of the
company. Those present were Charles
Sutherland, Morris W.. Mead, NJ. T.
Morris, Charles 7. Benton.
It was the concensus Of those pres
ent that the time for getting busy was
at hand and they instructed that the
purchase OF rights of way and the sale
Of the first allotment Of stock should
be made at once.
Rights OF way will be purchased on
the preliminary survey. The com.
pany will construct. thirty miles OF
track. The line will start at Fetter'
man and will be built to Bridgeport by
way OF yBoothsville. The company's
line will enter Grafton from Fetter'
man over the Grafton Traction Com
pany's line and will enter Clarksburg
from Bridgeport over the line of the
Falrmont and Clarksburg Traction
Company,
From Boothsville the line will be
built to FatPmont. The line from Fet'
terman to Bridgeport will be 10 miles
long and the distance from Boothsvllle
10 Fairmont is II miles.
This is to be a broad guNge road and
as the company progresses special
pains will be taken to construct just
the kind of a line that the people
need.
Morris w. Mead is here today and
he will so-over the line and famllIarize
himself with the topography Of the
proposed route. He will meet all per
sons interested so far as his visit will
permit and will discuss the project
with them. He will be open 10 all
suggestions and so far as the company
can comply with them 1t will be done.

SCHEDULE NAY !.
Be CHANGED
EAST sARk CAR MAY ENTER CITY
ON TEN, THIRTY AND FIFTY
: MINUTES AFTER EVEN HOUR.

4 The Chamber OF Commerce has been
urging the advisabIllty OF tile Fair
mont & Clarksburg Traction Company
changing its schedule on the East
Park extension. As 1t is now the East
Park, cars make three trips per hour,
arriving in the city on the even hour,
twenty and forty minutes after. 1t Is
argued that the congestion OF traffic
on the even hour could be relieved to
some extent II the East Park car were
to arrive little before the even hour
and depart In time to escape the influx
OF the city cars and lnterurban cars
that operate on a fifteen minute and
one hour schedule.
The plan that will be asked to be
put into effect will II adopted result
an the following schedule, The East
Park cars as now will make three trips
every hour, arriving In the city ten,
thirty and fifty minutes after the even
hour. This would be an advantage to
persons who want to make any of the
interurban cars for they would be at
TIE local traction station ten minutes
before the big cars arrive. AS 1t Is
tio& when the East Park car is held
4 up by teams on Parks avenue passen.
gers trying to make the interurban
cars are delayed one hour because the
cRr cannot make its way through the
congestion OF teams.
Tie traction company does not like
the idea Of changing schedules that
have been in operation and which the
people along the line have become ac.
customed to, but the proposition viii
be considered and 1t Is very likely that
before long there will be change
letfected in the East Park schedule for
the operation OF the street cars on
that extension.
