Plan Afoot to Revive Old Rail Line Across Iowa
Anamosa and Sureka report a Mr Fox led meeting proposing a revival of the Gan road line from Waterloo to Davenport, with a 250,000 stock subscription along the old route and a 500,000 bonus for extensions. Financiers from Hutchinson would rehabilitate the line and reestablish service, contingent on local commitments. The group notes prior line benefits, including 45,000 passengers and $20,000 in Jones county taxes over 11 years, and presses communities to save the line. A local committee will survey support and potential stock subscriptions, while a telegram indicates possible rail sale and shipment related to war priorities.
