NICKELPLATE TO MAKE CHANCE Company To Eliminate Curves Ndrth Os Marion To Shorten Route An announcement was made in Farion, Saturday, by officials of the Nickle Plate railroad company, that a survey made last fall for straightening the tracks of the Clover Leaf division of the Nickle Plate from Marlon north to the town of Ijmdessville, had been approved and that the changes In route would, be made as soon as the Van Sweringen merger plans are completed. It is proposed in the new route to eliminate all curves, which will shorten the route between Marion and Landessville one and one-half miles. The grade would be reduced to a perfect level, also, to facilitate the speed of the trains. The change will give the road connections with the Chesapeake & Ohio route in Marion, which is also controlled by the Van Sweringen interests. The change at Marion is only one of several such changes which the Nickle Plate company is contemplating to shorten tjie line between St. Louis and Toledo. Two surveys were made between this city and Dupoint and Continental, Ohio, last fall, lint so far, the company has made no official announcement as to what aetjon will be taken on this propsed change. This change would shorten the route several miles, a's the line now curves to the south from this city to strike Plesfsant Mills, Indiana, and Willshire.
