TROLLEY LINE
TO ROOSEVELT
Local Men Interested in Plan
to Build and Operate
Private System.
s25, 900 BEING RAISED
Franchise Law Is Favorable
If Passed Promoters Are
Working in Secret.


Trolley connection between this
tity and the Borough Of Roosevelt
is likely in short time If efforts
now under way by local men prove
successful. Private parties are
working to form an organization and
to raise $4,000 necessary to begin
construction Of the proposed line.
This is another of several move

passage of Senator Gaunt's bill, In

the move all the more certain of
success should obstacles not be met

Promoters Are Enthusiastic.
The local men back OF the propo-
over the idea. Having learned
that there is constant clamor for
some sort Of convenient carrier SER
yice to the borough In the northern
end Of the county. they believe =
trolley line would pay. Others have
thought 70 and steps might have
been taken q few years ago to lay .
trolley line but the short-period
franchise law, It appears, Quashed
all prospects.
It Is claimed by promoters and It
Was stated in the Senate chambers
during the passage OF Senator
Gaunt's bill Monday night that the
short-term law stopped trolley ex-
tension IN tho state. particularly In
the southern part. There seems to
be little doubt but that the bill will
pass the house and be signed by the
governor, thereby making 1t lawful
for communities to give franchises
for periods not exceeding fifty years.
Tho measure passed the houae by a
vote OF Is to 4.

In order to run trolley line from
Roosevelt to this city franchises
would have to be obtained from the
Borough Of Roosevelt and the Town

when we reached England We took
baby TO another doctor. who said his
condition was due to change OF food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and Il used TO
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was CON-
pletely covered with II at different
times II was at this time that my
mother advised us TO try Cuticura

about nine months the places disap-
