SUBSIDY CARRIED Wabash Votes to Give Traction Line $15,076 and Hartford $9,405 AN EASY VICTORY For Those in Favor, Though North Wabash Voted Against It Wabash and Hartford townships want an east and west traction line. They want it badly, too, if the subsidy election held yesterday Is a criterion by which one may base his opinion. Yesterday was the day set for the holding of elections in these townships, and though there was some opposition, it carried heavy in every precinct but north Wabash, where but seven votes were cast in its favor and 130 against it. However, this did not | affect the result, as Wabash voted to give a subsidy of $15,076 to the Bluffton, Geneva, & Celina company, the total being 424 “yes" to 188 “no,"while ' Hartford voted 170 to 58 that they will give them the sum of $9,405.
