6 PROJECT IN STATE TO BE DROPPED
St Paul Minnesota June 26 AP Abandonment of unprojected line across Montana between Kidney and Lewistown was considered today by the board of directors of the Great Northern Railway after the Interstate Commerce Commission denied the right to extend 42 miles from Richey to Brockway. The Montana railroad commission also recommended the decision. Officials directed to investigate alternate methods. Ralph Budd, president, said reopening was suggested but the commission would not favor full development. The line may be dropped, with study of other methods. The Great Northern will aid the Northern Pacific by sharing rights of way to speed future construction in the region.
