Blinn says Northeast Extension lines are rotten and promises relief
General Manager A C Blinn told Mayor Stolberg and city officials that the Canton lines are rotten and run down. He estimated three years to build up the system and blamed material shortages. Blinn pledged progress on Beldenav and 8th street NE extensions once grading is done and rail orders would start within two weeks. A possible route change favored a line from Tuscarawas Street W south on Harrison Avenue with transfer points at key streets.
