Wilson’s Request Brings Survey of Service to Downstate Camp.
Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 —An immediate Government investigation of the need for resuming operation of the interurban between Indianapolis and Seymour, as essential to the war effort, was assured Rep. Earl Wilson (R. Ind.) today. This assurance came from Colonel Maurice E. Gilmore, director of the Division of Defense Public Works, who was called before the House buildings and grounds sub-committee of which Rep. Wilson is a member. Chairman Frank Boykin (D. Ala.) of the sub-committee which is charged with handling defense housing and facilities, accompanied | Rep. Wilson to Indiana last week | and agreed that this service should | be re-established, Urged for Soldiers
Rep. Wilson bases his case on the (fact that the interurban, now withlout rolling stock, runs for 15 miles along the new Army camp in Bartholmew County. It would be used to transport soldiers from the camp to Columbus, Seymour, Indianapolis and other cities, he points out. “One of the points raised against the project by Colonel Gilmore was that electric power might be needed for other war purposes in that area,” Rep. Wilson explained. “But I cited figures to show that there is ample power and that during the drought last fall Southern Indiana plants even were supplying power to TVA,
