LAUREL AND BERWYN LINE
COMPLETED THIS MONTH

Two Maryland Towns Soon to Have a
Connecting Street Railway.

LAUREL, Md., Aug. 7.-It is generally
believed that the link of electric railway
being constructed between Laurel
and Berwyn will form a part of the
Washington, Annapolis, and Baltimore
Railroad system, as the same people are
behind both roads. Since Laurel is within three miles of Annapolis Junction, a
terminal point of the Annapolis, Washington,
and Baltimore Railroad which,
it is reported, the trolley interests are
endeavoring to purchase, it is natural
to suppose that a link would be built to
Laurel, and utilization made of the line
between Laurel and Washington.
In this case Laurel will be in communication by trolley with Annapolis, as
well as with Baltimore.
The road between Laurel and Berwyn
is to be single track, and will be completed this month.
