THE DATE IS SET Washington and Monroe Townships to Hold an Election BOARD IN SESSION Viewers on Highway and Macadam Road Appointed Two petitions asking for an election in Washington and Monroe townships was presented to the commissioners, the petitioners asked for this election for a subsidy for the Fort Wayne & Springfield railway, in sufficient amount to pay for their right-of-way through two townships, it being the intention of the company to build their lines to Berne. Five thousand dollars is asked for this township, and three thousand from Monroe township. The petitions were granted and the date of election set for Thursday, May 14. The voting precincts will be the same as at a general election, and the boards will be comprised with the same number of legal voters. The amount of the subsidy just covers the cost of the right-of-way and will likely be carried in favor of the subsidy by an overwhelming majority. William H. Laughrey and others have petitioned the board of commissioners for a highway. It is a mile of proposed road in Blue Creek township. Frank Hisey, David Dilling and William Hoile were appointed to make a report upon the proposed road. They will meet at the home of Esq. J. W.
