g Road—A Line to Avalon—CounProperty Will Be Greatly Beneted By the Improvement.

The proposition of former Mayor Augustus Hilton, of Angiesea, to build a trollye road from Cape May Court' House to Wildwood Junction and from thence to Grassy Sounds. Angiesea and then on down to Wildwood Crest, has met with' general endorsement. Mr. Hilton in a statement says that In all probability the road will be carrying passengers and freight to and from Five Mile Beach by the tint of June. 1910. The residents of Grassy Sound have beet In especial need of a trol ley line and as there ade upwards of a thousand people In that section dally during the fishing season, who are forced to depend on Ahe trains to bring them groceries and supplies, it Is feltt hat a trolley line would obtain most liberal patroonage. With the new Five Mile Beach line established and connecting with the new trofley line which la being surveyed to Stone Harbor on Seven Mile Beach from Cape May Court House, in conjunction with the new county road to that point, there will remain but two short gaps to connect. In order to make a continuous trolley ridi from Cape May to Atlantic City, a trip which would not only be Immense ly popular, but a handsomely payint Investment. There would remain the connect lug link between Cold Spring Inle at the northern end of Caep May about three miles over Two M1U ro-nrh KJ Wildwood Crest, to which point the Five Mile Beach electrW line runs, and from Stone Harbor t Townsends Inlet, seven miles, t which point the Sea Isle trolleys ru and which continue on up to Corson’ Inlet, the latter having to be bridged Id order to make a connection will the Ocean City and the fast shorline to Atlantic City route: The roa< would embrace some .forty miles anc could be traversed In less than hours, seldom outside of sight sound of the ocean. On Wednesday afternoon of week a score of interested and money ed men met In Philadelphia for thpurpoee of formulating the New An glesea trolley company. It Is expected that the new company will largely financed from Cape May ty and Philadelphia. Mr. Hilton sta ted that *150.000 will be sufficient to start the road running completr and that a portion of this amount hai already been subscribed. Conuectloni with the reading will be made at Bor leigh and Cape May Court House. J r
