For Trolley Lines.

For Trolley Lines.
Martinsburg people are enthusiastic
over the prospect OF HagerStown and
Frederick Railway interests taking over
the Martinsburg Power Company, and
the papers there are freely predicting the
the construction OF trolley lines in that
section that will entail great outlay OF
capital and that should be great boon TO
that section.
AS part of the compliance with the con-
tract with the reorganization committee
OF the Martinsburg utility, the Peoples
Trust Company, OF Martinsburg, was en-
tirely paid off, which was the only suit
brought by the dozen or more banks in
terested. A Martinsburg paper says:
"No doubt the other suits brought by this
bank, which have delayed the reorgani-
zation of the company, will be dismissed"
In view OF the recent announcement
that the Monongahela Valley Traction
Company would proceed at once to build
lUU HllleS vi HCW HIT SOHIICStlIS oOlilC vi
the most important cities and towns III
the western part OF Virginia, some Mar
tinsburg people believe a splendid trolley
development will follow in the course OF
time. In discussing the probability OF
trolley lines for Martinsburg, one paper
states:
"The matter now comes squarely up
to the citizens and officials OF Martins
burg. If a friendly disposition is shown,
and cooperation is in evidence there
will be no question as TO the greatest de-
velopment known in this part OF the coun-
try. This is the last of our natural re-
sources TO develop, and since capital is
waiting for an opportunity, the opposition
should change TO cooperation and every
thing be done 10 bring here trolley line
which would be the greatest blessing
that could come this way. The expendi-
ture in this immediate section OF ST ,OOO.-
600 would revive business wonderfully"

Twelve persons were hurt in automo-
bile accidents near Braddock Heights
Sunday. Nine were injured when two
touring cars went over the side OF the
mountain at sharp curves and three were
hurt when their automobile was side
swiped on Jefferson Boulevard by another
speeding car.
Jesse A. Gosnell, employed by the B..
& o. was fatally injured between Knox
Vile and Brunswick last Friday. He was
coupling freight cars and in some manner
lost his bearings, being pinned between
the bumpers of the two cars. Besides his
wife and daughter he is survived by one
brother and his mother.
Paul Hamilton, years old, son OF Will
liam Hamilton, pitched head first into an
empty lime kiln near Frederick Md,

Another addition to the town be new

President Lewis S. Cooper and Super
intendent D. M. Swink, of the Northern
Virginia Power Company OF Winchester,
have returned from an inspection of i'm
provements being made to the hydro
electric plant OF the company on the Ca
capon river, about five miles west OF
Berkeley Sprins. The company is in
stalling new water wheel, which will
generate 200 additional horsepower. In
order TO make this installation, it is neces-
sary to excavate the solid rock bottom OF
the river TO a depth OF about 10 teet.
This improvement will give additional
power to the numerous patrons and towns
supplied by the power company, which
includes the large sand mill industry in
the vicinity OF Berkeley Springs, w. Va,
and Hancock, Md. the stone and lime
plants around Martinsburg and in Jefier-
son county, West Virginia, and also
strengthens the main power station OF the
company at MillviIle, on the Shenandoah
river.
