Cites Development

The railroad officials pointed out $7.000.000 had been spent in development of the Big Four's Beech Grove shops since 1907, and that public officials, including the Public Service Commission, had denied on five different occasions petitions] seeking the reopening. The railroad’s views were supported by a group of remonstrators! who brought in petitions signed by

more than 250 residents. |

In addition to declaring the reopening would be unfair to the rail-|
