West Salem district eyes new Cleveland line via Mallett Creek
The West Salem area advocates a C. L.&W. railroad from Cleveland to Mallett Creek north of Medina, proposing a five to six mile branch to connect West Salem with Cleveland. The plan cites a 20 mile air distance, a $100,000 cost including right of way, and possible bonding or route-tied funding, arguing a new line would boost Erie traffic and provide West Salem with two trunk routes, while noting potential later extensions to Mt Vernon and Columbus and the possible impact on nearby rail interests. The piece also reports on Elmer McMarrell a traveling salesman who died by suicide amid embezzlement allegations in Mansfield, with background on his forgone money, indictments, and letters requesting aid for his family.
