New Bus Terminal Talks Collapse as Ohio Bus Lines Reject Plans
In a special session the Board of Education adopted a 1948 49 budget totaling 1 03 million dollars and sent it for certification. Plans for a North Verity Parkway bus terminal at Vail Street collapsed after Morris Edwards of Ohio Bus Lines raised title and parking doubts. Mrs Mary Gordon had planned a 70 thousand dollar facility with city lease backed parking but continued concerns over leases and property title ended the project. Meanwhile Dixie News Stand and Bus Station sits in Milner Hotel after fire. Negotiations with Cincinnati and Lake Erie Transportation and Greyhound continued on alternative downtown sites, with two parcels under consideration on Manchester Avenue Broad Street and North Main Street.
