Hannibal street car line to be extended to serve Indian Mound Park
Hannibal Missouri residents near St Marys avenue will gain street car service within 16 months after the city council street car committee accepts a franchise for Hannibal Railway and Electric to build west on West Broadway to the St Marys line and extend a three quarter mile to the West Ely gravel road. The plan includes a $3500 bond from Lynch’s Iowa syndicate and a $1000 public subscription for Indian Mound Park residents to fund the extension. Cars will run west on Broadway then return via a route likely along Hayden or Arch to Market Street.
