Interurbaas and Small TOwas.

Although 1t has no justification
in fact the assertion has been fire.
quently heard in the past that
interurban railways build up large
cities at the expense of small
cities and rural territory.
The statement is still made occa-
sionally. but evidence is all the
time accumulating to discredit it
A few years ago when it was pro-
posed to build an electric railway
from Nashville to franklin, Tenn,
there were many citizens in the
latter town who did not look upon
the project with enthusiasm. In
a recent issue of the Gallatin,
Tenn, News an interesting review
of the situation was presented in q
letter written by 0. ). Shannon,
Secretary of the Franklin Com
mercial Club. Mr.. Shannon said
in part:
For three years succeeding
the completion of the interurban.
Franklin merchants have done 8
larger business than in any other
three years in the history of the
town, each year showing an in
crease over the preceding year.
While this. no doubt, has been
the case in all other towns o Ell
the country, due to general pros
perity, Franklin, Notwithstanding
her interurban connection with
Nashville, has gone right along
enjoying an increased business
from year to year, just as other
towns in the State have done.
Real estate values have advanced
steadily, as have also the rents.
and they are still going up.
There is not vacant residence
or business house in Franklin, and
while this has been true for
number of years, still, it is also
true that large number of houses
have been built during these sew
eral years, and yet the demand
for houses has not been supplied.
Business houses that now rent
for $500 year rented few years
ago for $500, and residence prop
erty has advanced in the same
proportion.
TO take the interurban away
from us now would be to set us
back at least ten years. Those
knockers who predicted that grass
would grow in the streets of |
Franklin when the interurban was
built have been sorely disappoint-
ed"
An interurban line from Nash
vile to Gallatin is now being COM
pleted and is expected to be in
operation by April 1st. Citizens
of Summer county subscribed $780,
900 to the enterprise and it is pro-
posed to raise more money and
make a fifty-mile extension to
Kentucky. The Gallatin News
says the road already has added
more than a million dollars to the
value of Summer county real es,
tate. According to that paper the
books of the County Register show
that more than 100000 in profits
have been realized by citizens along
the line in sales of land.
The damage" which interur-
bans do to small towns merely
exists in the Imagination of tim
orous folks. Franklin and Gala
tin have experienced it and will be
more than glad to be damaged"
some more in the same way.

escaped unhurt at the Avon street cross
ing here late last night.
His companion, Thomas H. Ryan of
Binghamton, N. Y, tried to dart across
the tracks One of the trains caught and
mangled him and threw his body a0p
yards down the track. The two men had
started across the track obIivious of the
fact that either train was approaching
When the trains bore down upon them
Scott realized it would be death to run
in either direction, and with rare pres
ence of mind he recalled having read
that there was not more than inch
or so of leeway between passing trains
for man of average size II he could hold
himself erect.
Scott did not find IL easy TO hold his
feet. The air suction produced by the
two trains nearly pulled him over. but he
set his muscles so firmly that when the
trains passed he could not unlimber until
he was assisted.
