Decatur is a good old town, lots of hustle and business, prosperous business men, progressive citizens and a hearty welcome to every one. What is more ideal than sweet tempered men and women dwelling together in that good fellowship that is certain to bring peace, happiness and prosperity , to every one. Mr. George A. Bittier of Fort Wayne has again been honored by the governor by a reappointment to a place on the state accounting board. He has now held a place on this board for nearly two years and during that time has given evidence of ability and fitness warranting this additional confidence as expressed by the chief executive of the state. Os all the managers of interurban property in the state there is one star that stands out on the interurban horizon and in reality occupies a place ail ( by himself. We have reference to Mr. Arthur W. Brady, who has official’control of the splendid properties belonging to the Indiana Union Traction company. This company owns something over three hundred and forty miles of trackage all traversing the best sections of this best state in the union. The track is kept in perfect condition for safe and pleasant travel, and Jt is a fact of general knowledge to the public that some of the finest cars made are in the service of the Union Traction company. In the development of the maintenance of this interurban system the fine Italian hand of Mr. Brady has ever been in i evidence. It was he who guided the destinies of this company during the infancy of the interurban business in this state, and it was he that has made the Union Traction the best of its kind, and he well deserves the standing he now holds in she railway world and with the general public as well.
