City Lube Hearing Planned On Coal Line Abandonment
Attica officials report a September 27 hearing before the Public Service Commission on the proposed abandonment of the coal branch of the C. and E. T. railroad. Attorney R. B. Coapstick, chairman of the local committee, says evidence will be weighed by the commission and that the line will operate until January next regardless of the outcome. Meanwhile Indiana farm tenancy grows slowly with 65,587 tenant-operated farms in 1920, up from 64,787 in 1919, reflecting continued farmer occupancy of the land and a trend toward larger holdings.
