Electrified Peninsula trolley plan links Eastern Shore towns
Proponents in Philadelphia and Salisbury push a $3.0 million system to haul passengers and freight by electric power from three central Peninsula plants. The scheme envisions trolley lines, ferries, and bridges linking bays, with dredging and river power funded nationally, and rights of way secured from landowners across the Shore.

Baltimore river freight plan eyed by Adolph Decker
Adolph F. Decker of the Chesapeake Bay Tributaries Steam boat Company proposes a two boat system on the Chester River to haul freight to Love Point and then to Baltimore, cutting a five mile leg by crossing the Love Point bar. If successful, routes may extend to other Shore rivers, though inland shippers would gain little without wharfage.
