TRACTION COMPANY
WRITES FOR PLANS
indianapolis & Cincinnati

in Proposition Secretary
Jordan Busy Man.

Promises of financial support from
banking institutions, OF cooperation
from commercial organizations and in
terest being displayed by traction
companies, point to the success OF the
Commercial clubs efforts for new
traction line for Richmond.
A north and south line, connecting
the Indiana Union at Union City, and
a branch OF the Ohio Electric, near
Harrison, o.. is being favorably con-
sidered. Favorable comment has al
SO been made on the proposed plan OF
connecting Connersville and Rich
mond, via Liberty.
The Railway Age Gazette. published
in New York, contained an article on
Indiana Roads," which stated: The
Commercial club Of Richmond. Indiana
has taken action to encourage the
building of traction lines north and
south from that place, connecting i'm
portant points now without railway
connection. This includes the con-
struction of lines reaching Corners

club has received q letter from the In

company, which has line built from
Indianapolis to Connersville via Rush.
vile. stating that the matter Of line
from Connersville to Richmond, either
direct or via Liberty had never been
considered However, President
Charles L. Henry, stated that he would
bring the matter before the directors
of the company at the next meeting,
il more definite plans would be sub.
mitted by the local club.
AS the Indianapolis and Cincinnati
line has already considered line to
Liberty, even proceeding so far as to
get an option on right-of-way, the
general opinion among Commercial
club members that the matter will be
given favorable consideration. The
and C. is one Of the best lines in the
State and was originally planned to
connect Indianapolis and Cincinnati
This extension will probably be made
in few years.
The Brookville Business association
wrote the local club that hearty co
operation would be given in that place
for line connecting Richmond, Liber
ty, Connersville and Brookville. The
letter stated territory in the vicinity
of Brookville is thickly settled and the
line would surely prove a fine bust
ness proposition.
The Liberty Commercial club, and
Winchester Business Mems club have
notified Mr.. Jordan of their intended
cooperation. The Franklin County In
vestment company has asked to be
kept in mind. as possible financial
hacker Of a traction proposition.
