Proposed Traction Line From Zanesville to Athens
An advocate named Col Boone promotes a traction line from Zanesville through Chesterhill Amesville and Athens. He argues the plan mirrors common building loans where locals provide a right of way and small stock purchases fund the project, with Chesterhill and Born township already pledging several thousand dollars. Boone claims the scheme relies on community cooperation and proven funding sources before any time or effort is spent.
