and the Washington, Chesapeake and
Potomac company is to take its place, it
is said.
The proposed road which is financed
by =. A. Pearson of New York city and
W. Bernard Duke of Baltimore, will
peeln at some point on the District of
Columbia line in Southeast Washington
and terminate at Point Lookout in the
extreme part of southern Maryland. The

Prince Georges county, Hughsville.
Charles county and Mechanicsville and
st. MarSs City, st. Marys county
The several bills provide that the COM
missioners of the respective counties are
authorized to issue bonds for the pur-
chase of the stock of the new railroad
company. 1t is said that, if these bills
are passed, the promoters of the new
road will begin operations as soon as
the governor aft1Xes his signature to the
measures, 1t has long been recognized
that the absence Of proper railway facili-
ties has been a serious drawback to the
material development of southern Mary
land. and it is believed that the citizens
of this fertile section will offer no OBJ
lection to their counties subscribing to
the stock of the new company.
