City and Chamber oppose Greencastle express line petition
The City of Greencastle and local Chamber of Commerce plan to oppose Old Trails Express Company petition to run a through line on the National Road via Greencastle. They argue current freight and express facilities are adequate and a through route would worsen highway congestion and danger. A hearing is set for Thursday morning December 13 at 10 o'clock by the Public Service Commission. The Chamber has not taken formal action but views the line as a potential liability, and opponents aim to have representatives at the hearing. The company proposes leaving the National Road at Stilesville and using Greencastle to return to the National at Manhattan via new paved roads.
