There is no subject in which the towns of Mansfield, Bridgeville, Oakdale and McDonald are more interested at present than the building of an electric line by a direct route to Pittsburgh. Let the South Side barrier be overcome by a tunnel, and thus shorten the distance to the city by some three or four miles, then with fares less than one-half the exorbitant rates now charged by the Panhandle railroad, and the Chartiers and Robinson's Run valleys afford the most desirable outlet to the overcrowded downtown districts of the city. Which such facilities for travel to this city, this region will enter upon an era of phenomenal development. It is wise for the Pittsburg city fathers, who have in the past been so lavish with their franchises, to construct a movement that promise so much for the betterment of the densely packed downtown and South Side portions of Pittsburg? (sic) These valleys will open up homes for thousands of laboring men's families, near to the mills and b! usiness localities; and once removed from the vice and temptations of the city, they will save their money, become quiet, law-abiding citizens, and own their own homes. Nothing has more elevating influence upon a family than owning and improving of a home. There is no healthier locality in the neighborhood of the city than the section that would be opened up by the Electric line proposed to be built to Mansfield, and which would certainly soon be extended to Bridgeville and McDonald.--Mansfield Item
