Lowell Will Assist Purtelle In Getting Right-of-Way.

A dispatch.from Lowell says: “But little trouble is anticipated by the Lowell citizens in securing a right-of-way for the Northwestern Traction Co. President Eugene Purtelle, of the company, was in Lowell last Friday night to confer with the citizens about building the road. He said that the right-of-way from Lowell to Crown Point had been staked and that all that remained to be done for the present was to get the right-of-way. A committee was appointed to carry on the negotiations for the company in thiß matter. This committee consists of the following: J. W. Belshaw, Frank Strickland, Albert Hulls Edward Brownell and Harry Johnson. While no trouble is anticipated in a general way to secure the right-of-way, it is also generally known that there are one or' two parties along the route who are speculating on getting an exorbitant price for their property.
