RAILROAD LEGISLATION. Laws Enacted by State of Indiana Are Many. in the recent issue of the Railway Business Association Bulletin, the following Is said of railroad regulations in Indiana: “Indiana In 1911 enacted 31 railway laws against 14 in 1909, although Gov. Thomas R. Marshall had said in hie message that ‘he would rather have a few reforms which disclose your deliberate judgment than a large number of crude and undigested statutory enactments.' The 'well done he added, ‘wnlch you hope to receive from the people will come to you not from the volume but from the character of your work.’ “An enactment favorable to railway development was one enlarging the purpose for which a carrier may take land so as to include ‘the reinforcement of its roads by the construction of additional main tracks, switches, or passing siding;' this amendment being accompanied by one putting upon the carrier the burden of proof of necessity for taking land, and by a provision that in estimating damages to owners whose land is taken they shall be computed as in other cases, to which the added compensation for injuries, interruptions and destruction of trade, business contract, occupation, residence, or Industry, expense and difficulty in obtaining a new location and in relocating such business or industry. Right to acquire stock in terminal companies is extended to terminal companies in adjacent states where Indiana carriers desire to gain entrance. OBITUARY. John Schrank was bom in Stuttgart, Germany. February 25, 1830, and departed this life November 26, 1911, aged 81 years, 9 months and 1 day. He came to this country in 1854, and has been a citizen of this community about thirty-five years. December 24, 1860, he married Mary E. Snedeker. ; To this union were born' five sons and ; two daughters. Two sons preceded him to the spirit world. He had been declining in health for some time. He leaves a widow’, three sons, two daughters and nine grandchildren to mourn their loss. The funeral service was i conducted at 10 a. m., Tuesday, at the I home by H. Kohn.
