Have you thought out the proposition to push the Fort Wayne &i Springfield interurban south to Geneva this year? Now don't lose track of this. The road will likely be extended whether you say so or not, and the wise thing to do is to build it in the way that will be best for all of us, here in Decatur and Adams county. If some other big company gobbles it up, the power house would be moved within a week. This alone means fifty families out of Decatur.

You can bet the last dollar that when an interurban got to one of these cities they sent it on, because they realized that it meant more business for them. We are still waiting for some one to say just how the line can be extended most advantageously.
