ANOTHER RAIL KING IS RISING TO FAME
BYNERGER OF THREE ROADS IN MZD-W WEST

Mantis J., decided to enter the real
estate business together.
One day they went out to Shaker
Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, then
thinly wooded expanse of vacant
land formerly occupied by a colony
Of Shakers.
1--WE became convinced that it could
be made into a fine residence section, :.
Van Sweringen tells.
In recent testimony before the In
terstate Commerce Commission Van
Sweringen told HON the union station
project grew out Of that.
What Van Sweringen needed was
capital. Financiers told him the land
was too far from the city and besides
that there were no street car lines.
He persuaded the Cleveland trac-
union station to extend line into
the northern part of Shaker Heights.
But the company refused to go into
the southern part.
SO Van Sweringen decided to build
his own rapid transit line. He figured
he might save time and money by
acquiring the use of railroad right
Of way into the city The Nickel Plate
seemed the best, but it's management
wouldn't make terms. So Van Swer-
ingen purchased control of the road
and its 51S miles OF track at a cost
Of $500, 900.
