APPROVAL IS GIVEN
FOR NEW RAILROAD
Southern Maryland Line to
Be Extended to Patux-
ent River.
Special Dispatch to Tie Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 1.-THE ex-
tension of the Washington, Brandy
wine and Point Lookout railroad
from its present terminus at.Mechan-
icsville through st. Marys county to
the Patuxent river, a project long
hoped for and dreamed Of by south
ern Marylanders, was assured this
morning when the public service
commission approved the application
of the railroad for authority to con-
struct the necessary trackage.
The commission also authorized the
company to issue additional stock, to
be sold at par, to the amount of $780,
900. In order to finance the construc-
ttOn OF the first section of the new
line. stretch of about ten miles,
from Mechanicsvlle to Hollywood.
The railroad was originally capital
lied at 100000. 1t is planned to in
crease the capital stock eventually
to 100000.
Roadbed Already Started.
Some work already has been done
in preparing the roadbed, which will
follow in great part the right Of way
laid out and graded several years ago.
The line to Hollywood will probably
be completed and in operation by the
early summer.
W. Bernard Duke, president of the
railroad, says the extension will tap
a country which is rich in possibili-
ties but has been retarded in it's de-
velopment by the lack of railroad ia
cilities.
The three miles of the present line
from Brandywine to Mechanicsville,
which lie between st. Marys county,
now constitute the entire railroad
mil NJ ~
now ships large quantities of pulp
wood, and will be enabled to increase
this business greatly on the compile
ton Of the new line.
The eventual terminus of the road,
at Esperanza, is across the Patuxent
the finest anchorages on the Atlantic
coast. and only few miles from
Solomon's Island, the center of much
Of the commercial activity of southern
Maryland.
New Line Greatly Needed.
The extension will be a much need
ed transportation facility in that sec
ton. Mr.. Duke declared that south
ern Maryland was 200 years behind
the other sections Of Maryland and
that it was due to the poor trans
portation system.
He declared that when he was boy
it required three days to make a trip
from Leonardtown TO Washington
and that it had to be well planned be-
forehand.
This company operates the only
gasoline motor railway car on tracks
in the state. and just now there are
reports that this form of passenger
transportation is running race with
the notorious and the trolley bus.
Mr.. Duke declared that the operat-
ing expenses of the motor car had been
e1r Nd hot ho<l
plemented his passenger service to
such an extent that it had proved to
be, nothing short of salvation to the
road"

IN BUILDING AUDITORIUM
Judge Mary O'Toole, Municipal
Court, Heads Committee on Fund
for New Convention Hall.

Judge Mary O'Toole of the Munich
pal Court. first president of the
Women's City Club and a prominent
figure In women's and other organ
izations in Washington. signed the
official pledge card of the Washing
ton Auditorium organization com
mittee yesterday. and agreed to head
a committee of women to sell $4,000
worth of stocks and bonds in the
Washington Auditorium. Charles j.
Columbus, secretary of the central
committee, said today that Judge
O'Toole's signature brings the list of
committee chairmen to about fifty.
The plan of the central committee is
to secure 100 Washingtonians to head
100 committees, who will campaign
for a minimum of $4,000 each. thereby
bringing 100000 together for the
erection of a new Convention Hall
in Washington.
1T is only in the nature of things
that Washington. SO representative of
the nation. should have typical Con-
vention Hall such as is proposed"
said Miss O'Toole in a letter to Chair
man Harper.
Il am only too glad to be associated
in this wonderful movement and you
may rest assured that my committee
will be SO organized as to quickly sell
the minimum amount of stocks and
bonds called for.
realize even more than the task that
has been assigned us
Philip King. president of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton and brother of Harry King, who
has pledged himself to head one of
the 100 committees. announced yester-
day that he would work with his
brothers committee for the $1,000
goal.
Not merely from the standpoint of
the dollars that come to the commu-
nifty from a big assemblage." said Mr..
King, in letter to Chairman Harper,
but more particularly from the bet
ter understanding and educational
factors do big conventions appeal to
me as an admirable acquisition to the
community. Great gatherings of
tradesmen. of the professions and all
classes Of people generally tend to
the refining and betterment of all
who come within the range of such
gatherings"
