7 COUNTY TROLLEY LINES
ASK PERMISSION TO MERGE
Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. 23—Applica-
tion has been filed with the Public
Service Commission for approval of
merger of seven Lancaster county
street railways into a new corpora-!
tion to be known as the Conestoga
Traction Company.
The companies to be merged are
Lancaster Traction, Lancaster Rail-
way, Lancaster City, Lancaster and
Lititz, Columbia and Ironville, Co-
Jumbia and Donegal and the present
Conestoga Traction.
General Manager Hull, of the Con-
estoga Traction Company, in ex-
planation of the merger said this af-
ternoon that the procedure is for the
purpose of eliminating red tape in
the making out of reports for the]
various lines. The companies in-
cluded, he stated, are some of the
underlying lines in which the Cones-
toga Company owns all of the stock,
and the merger is simply for the pur-
ose of “avoiding complications.”
e other lines operated by the com-
pany in which it does not own all of
the stock are not included.

| FARMERS WANTING NITRATE
CAN NOW PURCHASE IT
In order to give farmers a liberal
supply of nitrate of soda at cost, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture has
undertaken the sale and distribution
of 100,000 tons. The nitrate can be |
purchased only by farmers for |
| present needs and cannot be resold.
| In Lancaster County, the sale of
| nitrate of soda will be handled thru
|the Lancaster County Farm Bureau
| office and through a small committee
to be announced later.
The nitrate of soda will cost about
$77.50 per ton delivered to Lancas-
[ter freight rates. This price is de-
cided lower than ordinary commercial
! prices charged and should be reason- |
! able enough for use on some of our
|crops. No orders will be accepted
!later than February 4. Any farmers
desiring some of this government
nitrate should get in touch with the
| Farm Bureau or the local committee
at once. |

Breaks Wrist Cranking Car
Daniel Albright, of Rowenna,
known as the grand old man of
Schock’s Mills, is nursing a very sore
right arm, having broken a bone in
the wrist while cranking his automo-
bile. Mr. Albright is perhaps one of
the oldest drivers of automobiles in
Lancaster county, and for several
years has driven without an accident
or an injury. Several days ago while
getting ready to take a spin to Mari-
etta, the crank slipped and caught
him on the wrist, fracturing it.
