Logansport Paving Cuts Temporary Traction Tracks
Acting city engineer Harry Thompson directed George H. Palmer to tear up the Fort Wayne and Northern Indiana Traction temporary tracks on Burlington Avenue. Interurban service between Logansport and Lafayette was blocked, and Shultz town lost city car service for hours as paving stalled due to the tracks. Palmer had urged the company to connect the new tracks, but received no cooperation, prompting city involvement.
