Two Cities United Big Thing For
Akron.
The Northorn Ohio Traction com'
pany Is going to carry passengers be
tween Hall's Corners, at Akron, and
the Inn, at Barberton, in 18 minutes
This will equal tho time of tho
steam cars, with the advantage that
electric car passengers will be land
edntmoio convenient points In the
two cities and can catch cars at more
convenient times.
For the last sis weeks the com
pany's engineers have boen quietly
at work survoying lines through prf
vate property, starting at points on
South Main st., south of Falor's
Crossing, and continuing to Barber'
ton, the object being to find the route
nnd levels best adapted to the com
pany's plan of rapid transit between
tho two cities.
It is understood that tho favorite
of the three routes eliminates all
necessity of curves and grades, short'
ening the-dlstanco ,to the minimum
and giving the company opportunity
to crcnto a road-bed that will com
pare favorably as to levels with the
steam railways.
The right of way calls for a double
line of track, wh'loh, completed, will
connect with the South Main st.
tracks, enabllug the company to run
cars eithor way between Hall's Cor
nors at Akron and tho business
quarter of Barberton In 18 minutes!
It Is announced that the road-bod
is to be equipped with the best ma
terial that can be obtained; and tho
cars, of tho latest improved kind,
will bo capableof developlnga speed
of upwards of sixty miles nn hour.
With tho running time of olectrio
cars reduced to 18 minutes, Akron
and Barberton will be a closer united
socially and commoiclally than ever,
