Coming from an Official of the Balti-

gle tracked.
In answer to this the railroad offi,
cial was told that it was rumored from
semi.oificial quarters that the new
double track between Fairmont and
Connellsville was under consideration
because OF the freight that the West
ern Maryland would get. The only
answer TO this was 1T may be done
some time within the next 90 years.
II the railroad company is going TO
spend some money for double tracks,
1t certainly would not spend II where
It Is least needed"
The railroad man also stated thai
every once in while rumors of the
kind come up. and it keeps the com
