Monon Railroad Buys Walsh Coal Lands-Invesment of $3,000,000.

Chicago Tribune. The Chicago banks, which underwrote the “Walsh debt” at the time of the settlement of the John R. Walsh affairs have just realized $3,000,000 more through the sale of the property of business of the Alliance Coal Co., originally started as an important investment for the old Chicago and Southern Indiana railroad. Preliminary papers were signed a week ago whereby the Monon Coal company, affiliated with the Chicago, Indianapolis and I<ouisville Railway company, the “Monon” route, took over the Alliance properties. The work was completed yesterday when final deeds were signed and arrangements made for the handling of additional business The Alliance properties include about 20,000 acres of coal lands in the counties of Sullivan, Clay, Greene and Vigo, in Indiana. It had been rumored that the Vandalia railroad was interested, in the purchase of the properties and was negotiating with the Chicago, Terre Haute and Southeastern, the reorganized Walsh railroad properties, for the acquisition of the 'lands. Instead the Monon concern gets complete control.

The city team is being used to cut grass along vacant lots and in front of property where the cutting has been neglected and this requires the team to get a long distance from the business center. It seems that owners of all property, either vacant or .occupied, should be compelled to keep the grass and weeds cut This is contemplated by city ordinance and there is small encouragement for some who do this when they see the city taking care of their neighbor’s property. But if it is to be done, then another team should be hired to do it and the city team kept up town and not far from the engine house.
