Avon Beagh & Southern Gets Lorain Franchise
Lorain Ohio after weeks of bickering the Avon Beach & Southern railway and city officials granted a franchise last night. The Line will extend from Beach Park along Thirteenth Avenue to the river to connect with Avon Beach & Southern. The company agrees to transfers within the city with Lake Shore Electric and Cleveland & Southwestern within limits south of Dexter Hatchet to the steel plant. The ordinance mirrors one refused last January so the city and company have been at odds. The franchise ends pending lawsuits in circuit court and the railway bears all expenses. The project will speed the line, cutting half an hour from Blyna or South Lorain to Cleveland.
