Franchise for Brown’s Interurban Again Published.

The Lafayette & Northwestern Railroad Co., known locally as the Brown route to distinguish it from the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co., the Roberts route, and which is asking franchises in several counties, has again caused a copy of the franchise asked to be published in The Lafayette Journal. The franchise definitely defines the route to be taken from Lafayette and provides that work must be started by November Ist, of this year, and that the road must be completed and cars running by Jan. 1, 1916, The route chosen is from West Lafayette to iMontmorenci, then north on the (Marshall road to the line between Tippecanoe and White counties. The franchise provides that not less than four cars shall be run each way each day. The caTS may alKbe attached as one train or run separately as four - trains. Aside from the fact that a definite surveyed route was required, and any person should be able to see that this should be demanded in every county, the wording of the franchise is practically the same in all counties through iwhich it is proposed to build the road.
