'v It' I I V' I By ELIZABETH HICKS, Daily News Correspondent WAPAKONETA, Jan. 15 What happens to bid interurban motormon? Do they die or fade away? Perhaps it's 50-50, but In this city there, is one who has done neither Charles "Chip" Koehl, 102 S. Blackhoof St.

Chip, as friends all call him, rode one of the first inter-Urban cars out of the barn as conductor when the Western Ohio line opened Mar. 12, 1902. He also put the last car to bed in Findlay when the line closed Jan. 1G, 1932. The Western Ohio road ran from Piqua to Findlay.

The line also had an express car, the Cleveland Limited, on which Chip sometimes worked. The limited originated in Wapakoneta, ran' northwest on the Western Ohio road and then connected to the F1F (Fostoria and Fremont) tracks. 4 Born in Bradford, Chip moved to St. Marys when a boy, and to Wapak after marriage. His wife is no longer living, but he has two children, a son and daughter.

"I once took my family from Wapakoneta to Chicago by Interurban," Chip recalls. There were many different electric railway companies, but a great number of lines connected, he recalls. On the Chicago trip, the Koehl family then went on to Iowa from Chicago, using a "steam" pass. A "steam," in interurban parlance, is the old railroad locomotive. Steams and electrics that's interurbans swapped passes for employes.

Chip was never in a fatal accident on the road, but he lost a vote once for hitting a cow which had to be killed. Koehl filed his candidacy for Auglaize county recorder, the term to begin in September, 1919. While running for office he remained on with Western Ohio, driving a small one-man interurban. Heading toward St. Marys one afternoon, a farmer, driving his cows home, stirred up so much dust Chip failed to see one bovine on the track.

Consequently, he ran her down. Came election time, the animal's owner vowed, "I'll never vote for Koehl, he killed my cow." Chip says, "Folks were happier hen I was a young man, and they had a lot more fun." Then he ends on a wistful note, "I've had many a good time, but I've lived too long." Youthful good times Koehl recalls were dances given by the Esmeralda Dancing club, St. Marys, of which he was a charter member, and the yearly minstrel given by the club. Chip was always end man. After serving a term as county recorder, Koehl returned to the line, in 1921, as motorman on two-man cars.

When the line opened in 1902. pay was 16 cents per hour; at the close, between 50 and 60 cents per hour. Following the interurban shutdown, Koehl worked at the state liquor store until he retired. Though Chip laments his inability to move around like he did in his salad days, he still makes himself useful as a doorman at the local Elks lodge hall. engineer regarding the congestion problems created by overloaded streets.

Referring to previous one-way street legislation which has been piecemeal in nature, Lehr said, "Apparently we are handling thing expediently rather than on a sound planning basis." After the study is completed it is expected that a one-way street system for the whole city will be proposed to the commission.
