Annapolis Garage 103-105 WEST ST. : DRUM POINT RAILROAD 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. 1.000 COTTON WORKERS WENT ONSTRIKE TUT Ulv Tli* Aitorlntwl Prf*.l BALTIMORE, MI)., Apr. 23.—Ap proximately one thousand of the 1,- 600 operatives of the Mount Vernon- Woodberry chain of cotton mills went on strike today, according to the strike leaders.
