Believed that Road is Con templating Building Connecting Link f ROM NICHOLLS 10 BISHNELI The B. B. Now Uses Track of the A & B. Over This Route and the Arrangement is Not Satisfact ory by Any Means. There is something doing in B. & B. circled, but just what it is cannot ho learned at present. The owners of the road are figuring on something, and something big right about now, but to get at the bottom of the plan is im possible. However, from what a News man can gather, it i6 believed the road is contemplating building a lino from Bushnell to Nicholls, which will con nect their lines at both ends. This is the line of the road over which the track of the Atlantic and Birmingham is used at present. The difference existing between the two lines, the complaint filed by the people of Douglas against the arrange ment between the roads and the al together unsatisfactory agreement is believed tci have been taken up by the director# of the road, and there is but one decision for them to reach —to build a line of their uivn through the territory over which they use the A. & B. tracks. Local officials of the tine 3oem to know nothing of what is contemplated and are as mum as clams on the sub ject, but that the building of this connecting link is being considered there' can be no doubt. The present arrangement between the B. & B. and the A. & B. works a hardship cn the local road. It is not allowed to haul either passen gers or freight from any point on the A. & B. over which it travels, and any otlNi week the pooipie .jtdjouglas uuttec icmim- nas*- pro® Mg aiMeSi*'•■ WangtuUmt, case will be heard on its mer its next week. It will cost many thousands of dol- lars to build the connecting link, still it is absolutely necessary that the B. & B. have it sooner or later, and it is tiie general opinion that the owners of the road are now figuring on com mencing the work.
