    3. Bloomington (IN) Evening World, June 8, 1910, p. 1. BROWN COUNTY TO HAVE A TROLLEY Road to Connect Nashville with Point on Indianapolis Southern A preliminary survey is being made of a proposed interurban route from Nashville, Brown County, to a point on the Indianapolis Southern Road not yet definitely fixed. The road is being promoted by J. A. Johnson of Indianapolis who represents Indianapolis interurban capitalists. No subsidies are being asked but instead stock in the enterprise is being sold to residents of Nashville and residents along the route of the proposed road. Much of the stock has already been sold and at a meeting of businessmen of Nashville recently held at which Mr. Johnson was present, it was given out that the road was now assured. Nashville is not connected by rail with the outside world. The new road, which will be about eight miles long, will be built, it is estimated, at a cost of about $80,000. The cars will be run by gasoline motors.
