Northern Indiana Railway to operate loop around city streets
The Northern Indiana Railway will accept the council granted franchise and set up an interurban loop around Lincoln avenue Fifth and Main streets, with Fifth Street paving to begin once tracks are laid. The line extends to South Eighth Street by 1967, but eastward expansion to the old fair grounds is rejected due to Big Four track crossings. The city will see interurban cars looping through town, ending months of traction conflict. earnings are not expected to produce dividends, but the arrangement pleases all parties.
