Receipts of Oil Inspector's Office Daring 1910 Quite Large.

Nearly SIOO,OOO was earned by ths state oil inspector’s office during the year 1910, according to the annual report which Sid Conger, retiring chief inspector, filed with Governor Marshal Saturday. The exact amount taken In was $99,737, as against $86,974.70 in 1909. The money is divided equally between the Inspectors and the state.

Eugene Purtelle, president of the Northwestern Indiana Traction company, is in the city today. He says the company is ready to begin construction work here just as soon as the weather permits. Owing to the frozen condition of the ground at the present time it would be impossible to do any grading without the expenditure of an immense amount of money, so this work will be deferred until later. He expects to have the surveying crew here shortly to finish running the line they commenced some time ago, and until active construction work commences the time will be spent in looking after elections and in securing the right of way. The petition for an election in Newtoa township has been drawn up and will shortly be circulated for signers. There is little doubt that if the road is built it will be through Mt. Ayr, which will cut out Burrey, Parr and Fair Oaks, which is causing considerable uneasiness to the residents of those towns.
