Railroad Route From
Easton To Claiborne
May Be Reopened
Love Point Has Proven To Be I'm.
desirable AS A Terminal For
B. c. & A. Company

In the lower end of Talbot county
there is much discussion over the
transportation problems of the East
ern Shore and especially Talbot coun-
ty. Ever since the Pennsylvania
Railroad took controlling interest
over the B. G.. & A. much discussion
has been heard about the final out
come. The last week rumors have
been afioat about changes in the OPP
GRAFTON of the road.
There are those who are said to be
in position to know something def
mite about the future policies of the
railroad and they are inclined to be-
lieve that the Pennsylvania will soon
make some drastic change. 1t is a
known fact that the Love Point ter
minal is not at all satisfactory either
to the travelling public or to the rail
road officials. Some radical changes
are about to be made, if the rumors
are to be believed.
One official, so it is said, when ask
ed what was in the wind, stated that
the best thing to do was to keep ones
ear close to the ground and listen for
developments. Something, he said,
will soon be announced. Those who
live in the southern part of the coun-
ty recall the fact that workmen have
been busy repairing the road bed be-
tween Easton and Claiborne, and it
looks like the old route will be taken
up again before long.
Last winter the Love Point harbor
was difficult at times for the boat to
dock, and the long railroad journey is
not as pleasant as the road to Clai-
borne. Claiborne has far better facili-
ties as terminal than Love Point.
Then the traffic going across the fer
ry to Annapolis could be carried by
the road if trains were run to Clai-
borne.
Travelling men and women are not
backward in their complaints about
the Love Point route and as a result
the Annapolis ferry is carrying
greater number OF passengers than
ever. Possibly this has stirred the
railroad officials to some action which
might mean the change in terminals.
-..in eli r. .,orts it is believed that
s@111e dr.. lie c..cn@c IS conterru!atcd
b. ~ railroaG Every indication
point. to this, if the people of the low
CT part of the county are right. 1t is
earnestly hoped that such is the case
for the Cla &c he tC:'mi" al has always
been deemed ,ne better OF the two.
With the deN lopn.ln Of The Shore
the first thing needed is transporta-
tion f. titles adequate to meet the
Leeds O. the people.
Therc is 10 doubt that the Eastern
Shore of Maryland is about to under
go grea. boom. From one end of
the shore to the other business men
have awakened to the fact that this
is one o1 the choicest spots in the
country. Us beautiful creeks, bays,
rivers, and inlets give it a charm
found nowhere else. The soil and eli
mate are far superior to most places,
ever to California.
The railroad company sees ahead
ano are in position to grasp the stu
alton much more quickly than the av-
erage person. They have data of all
kinds to study, and it is believed that
tie handwriting on the wall has been
see, by the officials and something is
about to be done. Before the business
interests can get very far with their
publicity the cooperation of the rail-
roads must be obtained. 1t is hoped
that this will be forthcoming, and that
the rumors heard are but the forecast
of agreat awakening in that part of
the State.
