The following was copied from the now-defunct Troy Daily Press of Monday March 4 1901 page 8
“The Powers-Colvin Co., Saturday consumated a deal by which they assume control of the Saratoga Traction Co. Associated with them is John W. Herbert of Helmetta, N.J. The road extends from Ballston to Saratoga and will at once become a feature of the system of roads from Troy to Caldwell. Two routes are open to connect this latest acquisition with the rest of the road. One is from Saratoga to Schuylerville; the other from Ballston to Stillwater. The new road will bring Saratoga into communication by trolley with the rest of the world. The consumation of the purchase was reached quickly, the deal being closed in less than a week. With the completion of the proposed Ballston—Schenectady electric road this section of the state will be pretty thoroughly covered by the trolley system. The enterprise being displayed by Messrs. Powers and Colvin is commedable.
