THE ATHENS troll
LEY LINE
Prospects For Freight
Traffic
Opinions of Some of the People Who
Live on the Proposed Route Be-
tween Sk0whegan and Up-riYer
Towns

A representative of the Independent
Reporter made somewhat hurried
journey over a portion of the Show
hegan-Athens electric route last
Friday morning. He found the few
parties whom he was able to inter-
view thoroughly interested regarding
the project. No one had any doubt
about its being a good thing for the
section and practically everyone be-
lieved it would be a safe business pro-
ject from the start.
The first man met was Willis Blan-
chard, who lives pa miles from
Skowhegan ON the East Madison road
The proposed line according to sur
vey would pass in the valley about
q of mile to the east of Mr.. Blan-
chard's home. He did not think it
would be of much practical benefit to
him or his neighbors as to freight or
passengers but did not doubt that it
would be of immense advantage to
parties farther up the line especially
where located in or near the high
way. Mr.. Blanchard is accustomed
in hauling freight to make three turns
day to Skowhegan, hauling 1R
tons to the load. This would make
$1.00 per ton. He would probably
continue to haul to Skowhegan rather
than to the electric line q of a mile
distant.
Elmer B. Rowell, who lives in the
locality known as Rowellvale. four
miles from Skowhegan, pointed out to
our representative where the road
would come into the highway, short
distance south of his home Mr.
Rowell thought it would be a great
convenience to him and his family
Said he wished it was in operation
now so that his daughter, 13 years
of age, who is attending school at
Skowhegan could board at home He
thought it likely that most of his
freight, both ways, would come over
the line if built. At present he Is
hauling two tons a day to Skowhe-
gan and like his neighbors plan on
y tons to a load. Incidentally Mr..
Rowell mentioned the condition of the
present highway between East Madi-
t,,li Oh ic tai,
ly about the worst piece of road in
the Kennebec Valley at the present
time.
Two merchants doing business in
the village of East Madison, Messrs.
c. A. Hewett and F. G. Burrill, talked
freely about the proposed line. Peo-
pie tell them that they would not be
likely to gain as a whole by the road,
the differences being that their custom
ers having access to a trolley line
would go to Skowhegan to trade.
These gentlemen are not sure that
that would be the case but, even if
they were confident it would be, they
seem too broad minded to let that
consideration influence them in the
matter. They are both enthusiastic
in the belief that it would build up
their community and make it i'm
measureably a more desirable place of
residence. They would recommend
