Porter County to Have Good New System of Gravel Roads.

Wheatfleld Review. The voters of Pleasant township, Porter connty, voted by a majority of one hundred and thirty to build sixteen miles of gravel roads. Pleasant township is directly north of Wheat- , field and Kankakee townships in Jasper county. Ndw if the land owners would start a movement to build a macadam road from Wheatfleld io Baums Bridge on the north and connect with the gravel roads in Barkley township south, then the most direct good roads from northern Indiana to the south would be the result. The wonder-wise at the head of the Jasper County Democrat proved just as unreliable on the Wheatfleld election proposition as he has on myriads of other things. He said that an election could not be held in Wheatfleld because that township did not have 1,000 people. The county attorney and the commissioners thought differently and ordered an election. Probably the real hope was to ward off the election, thus havihg the township go automatically wet, and then have a saloon license granted without giving the temperance people a chance. But Bab’s legal mind don’t seem quite reliable, having been found wanting on several occasions, and it is hardly probable the commissioners would accept his recommendation when an attorney is employed to give legal advice.
