Lorain Line Boosts Wabash Short Route To Chicago
A Pittsburg backed plan to extend the Sugar Creek and Ohio Northern line from Wellington to Lorain aims to cut 90 miles off Cleveland to Chicago travel, linking Lorain with Cleveland and Bolivar to place Wabash on a main line from Pittsburg to Chicago. The project would also shorten the Cleveland to St Louis route, positioning the Wabash as a rival to Lake Shore and Big Four lines.

Fire Department to Get Electric Striker
The board of public safety bought an automatic electric striker for Station 1 to ring the fire bell louder and longer than rope tolling. It will keep ringing until power is cut, freeing one man for other duties and boosting local equipment efficiency. A test is planned between 6 and 7 pm, and outside companies are instructed not to respond to the fire alarm during the test.
