NEW RAILROAD
For MassiIIon Being Pro-
jected in Cleveland.

Promoters are asking a franchise
from the Cleveland city council for
what is known as the Lake Erie Ter
minal railway which Is to run from
Cleveland to Massillon I'M Stark coun.
ty. Members of the council, 1t is said,
are little suspicious of the road and
an inquiry will be made before any
action is taken. The Cleveland Plain
Dealer in discussing the project says:
AT all the local offices complete ig-
norance Of the intentions of the pro-
moters is asserted and an inclination
to "pooh-pooh" the idea that a new
road is to built to Massillon is appar-
ent. The most pronounced opinion
and the one quite generally shared in
Is that the road is another of the
plans proposed SO frequently of late,
to construct belt line about the city;
that when franchise is obtained from
the city council by which the tracks
can be taken out Of the city, turn
will be made and the city will be cir
cled. This view is supported by the
fact that all local roads have an out
let from Massillon to the lake and
that the constructors OF new road
to that city would necessitate the par
elleling of three old and established
roads. Assurance is given that none
of the Cleveland roads needs another
outlet from the Massillon coal fields
and that no thought has been given
to the support of new venture.
