Prospect of Electric Line Promoters Seek Right of Way
A W Crawford Ford offfillsboro, director in the proposed interurban line from Granite City to Gregnville, said the project has no doubt if the right of way can be secured. The St Louis and Eastern Traction Co will pay a reasonable price and asks no bonds from citizens. Crawford hoped to visit Troy but illness delayed him. Collinsville Herald notes local efforts, with Thomas of Collinsville signing for the right of way and planning to petition the council. Construction may begin at the Collinsville end, possibly using Collinsville Electric power, with the line possibly joining the McKinley system later.
