Fredericksburg Abandons Efforts to Retain F. N. Railroad
After months of effort the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce railroad committee voted to end its bid to preserve the F. and N. line. The Interstate Commerce Commission had allowed abandonment earlier, and a local fund could not raise 90 000 for rails and 15 000 for operating costs. The Hymen Michaels Co. of Chicago was anticipated to salvage the line, with a Minneapolis plan to replace equipment and invest 40 000, but time and lien concerns led to withdrawal. The situation left 60 000 locally raised and possible 40 000 from the Minneapolis group, with a potential future purchase offer still possible through Chicago interests and Dr Judkins of San Antonio.
