says
1t is reported here on good authority
that the large waterpower and steam
power electrical plants OF the Winchester
and Washington City Railway Company,
situated along the Shenandoah river near
Millville, Jefferson county, w. Va, are
about to be sold to company of Wash
ington capitalists. some of whom, it is
stated, are also interested in the plan to
electnfy the Washington-Bluem
branch OF the Southern railway, which
has been leased by them for period of
fifty years. The negotiations for the sale
of the electrical plants have been IN pro-
gress for several months, and it was
stated today that there is every reason to
expect the deal will go through. The
plant is one of the largest of the kind IN
this section of the country and in addi-
ton to lighting the streets, stores and
dwellings of Winchester, Berryyille,
Charles Town and other communities, il
supplies power for enterprises in these
towns and Martinsburg, Berkeley. Secur.
ity. Md, and many quarries in Berkeley
and Jefferson counties of West Virginia
