Terre Haute Board Rejects Schott Traction Franchise
The Indiana Southern Interurban Company, formed by Sullivan and Linton residents, had its Terre Haute franchise extension refused for failing to start construction by January 1 1906. The plan would connect Terre Haute to coal belt towns from Sullivan to Linton, Jasonville, Farmersburg, Shelburn and more, but losses of about ten thousand dollars already paid and large surveying costs occurred. Local financiers supported the line, which promised transport links to mining areas and benefits to Sullivan and surrounding communities.
