11)10 COST $1,200,000
1 Report Of Feasibility Of Con
structing It Has Been Sub
mitted To Governor
TO MAKE FURTHER STUDY
Construction of a proposed railroad
; through Anne Arundel and Calvert
counties would cost about *1,200,000
without rolling stock, according to H.
Carl Wolf, chief engineer of the Pub
lic Service Commission.
Mr. Wolf has Just reported to Gov
ernor Ritchie the result of the inves
tigation on the possibility of buildiug
a railroad through those counties.
The Governor said the report would
' be put in another shape so as to .show
more clearly the most suitable loca
tion of the proposed line and what
traffic could be expected.
Will Name Committee
When this is done the Governor will
appoint a committee to study it. On
the final rejvort he will base his rec
ommendations to the next Legislature.
The last Legislature directed that this
investigation be made.
“If any way can be found to build
a road in that section,” said the Gov
ernor, “I will do all in my power to
help. it is about time we knew
whether a road there is practicable.
If it is. then it ought to be built."
The line suggested is part of the
old Drain Point Railroad’s right of
way. which follows the high ridge
through the two counties to Drum
Point, at the extreme end of Calvert
county. Two alternate routes are
suggested as practicable. The road
would extend from Millersville, thiß
county, to Solomons Island, that being
recommended as the terminus instead
of Drum Point. This would take the
road to the tip end of Calvert county
and to the deepest and most com
modious inland harbor along the At
lantic Coast.
%
Agrees To Operate Bond
George T. Btshpp, president of the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Rntlway Company, is interested in the
project, and has promised tentatively
tlint if the road is built his company
j will operate it. His company, he has
! said, is in no position to finance the
I building of the road.
He lias suggested that about $500.-
00<1 of the $1,200,000 required to build
the road could be raised by a bond is
i sue. subscriptions for a substantial
sum might be obtained throughout the
section to be traversed hv the road
and the State might supply the re
mainder.
All these matters will be taken un
der consideration by the committee
which Governor Ritchie will appoint.
