May Parallel Interurban Roads in Indianapolis
The Indianapolis street railway company plans to parallel interurban lines as directors of a new Indianapolis interurban terminal company seek a separate city franchise. A wary plot to extend south to Greenwood and Martinsville aims to outpace rival interurban lines. Terminal president Charles Fidley Smith claims added routes will boost service, while McGowan hints at future actions to protect property. A Barth avenue obstruction protest to the terminal’s right of way is circulating among nearby property owners citing a local schoolhouse near the route.
