Spur to New Haven Mines to be Torn
Up by Ann Arber Railroad

According to an announcement
made in the press by the Ann Arbor
railroad company the spur tracks
known as the New Haven Mining Coal
company spur line will be abandoned
by the railroad company March 10,
and the tracks torn up as soon there
after as possible. III. S. Bradley, Of
Toledo, traffic manager of the road,
says that this action is necessary be-
cause of the unproductive territory
served and that the cost of mainten-
ancS and operation is in excess of the
revenue derived from the line.
The action is likely to have an i'm
portant effect on one industry, the
sugar beet industry, according to j.
A. Richardson, county treasurer.
Without the spur line, which runs
from West Haven to Owosso, farmers
in New Haven township and adjoin-
ing Six Mile Greek will find it more
difficult to raise and deliver sugar
beets, even if the farmers and the
companies should reach an agreement
regarding the price to be paid for the
beets.
The Six Mile Creek line was pro-
NOTED ten years ago by Calumet capl-
talists, then owners Of the New Hav-
en- coal mine. The mine owners

spent large sum of money not only

spent large sum Of money not only
operating the mine at Six Mile Greek
but also in promoting the railroad
line to the mines so that the coal
could be placed on the market. The
adventure proved failure and con-
siderable money was lost by the mine
owners. The road, however, served
a useful purpose. Hundreds of tons
Of beets were delivered at the Six
Mile Creek station by farmers for the
Owosso Sugar Company and other
companies.
The mine at Six Mile Creek is be-
ing operated at present, but the coal
is being sold at the mine. Mr.. Rich
ardson says that because of the long
haul farmers residing near West
Haven will find it impossible to raise
beets, now that the spur line is to be
abandoned. The line to Six Mile
Creek cost many thousands and the
road was built after considerable diff

time to have the spur extended to
New Lothrop, but the idea did not
appeal to the Ann Arbor Railroad
company.
