by way of Bath, to Hornell. a direct cross-county line. The decision of the Appellate Division, which la lengthy, annuls the decision of the former Railroad Commission for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to the Branchport-Hornell trulley line. The reason of this annulment is that the law prescribes that any company upon its Incorporation shall have at least oue-teDth of its capital slock paid in in cash. This was not done, it is said.

The trolley line was projected to reach a section along Lake Keuka, and in the towns of Fremont, Howard nud Jasper, Dow entirely without railroad facilities.

The road is greatly desired throughout this community, and the decision is a great disappointment to hundreds of farmers and freight shippers, as well as to J. V.

Tuerk, who for over six years has been engaged on the project of the construction of this line.
