Missoula Belt Line Ownership Settled in Court
A Missoula judge orders the Missoula Gas and Coke Company to own the Missoula Belt Line railroad. The 280 to 290 foot connecting track between the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee lines carries 60 cents a car and earns about 2000 to 3000 dollars yearly. The line, built 1909 by George P. Smith and tied to Henry B. Smith interests, is valued at forty to fifty thousand dollars and now ties to R. C. Cardell after court action. The short line, crucial for coal transfer, becomes part of the Gas company under the ruling.
