BUILD LINE TO REDUCE GRADE.
Rumor That w. NJ. May Build TO Bal
timore by Way Of Boonsboro.


1t Is reported that the Western
Maryland Railway after the compile
tion of the Cumberland to Connells-
Vile extension expects TO build lire
through the Bocnsboro district. A
railroad official stated that survey had
been made from point at Williams
port, running across the country in
almost direct line to BoonsboTo and
on to Baltimore, and that the survey
as made gives lower grade percen-
tage than any line running into Balti
more. When the Cumberland-Ccn
nellsville line is completed and con-
rection made with Pittsburg and Lale
Erie the Western Maryland Railway
will have such great volume of
freight business that 1t is simply ins-
practicable to carry the long and
heavy laden trains over the Rare
Ridge Mountains and the company
will be simply compelled to take adj.
vantage of the low grade.
