Purtelle Holds Meeting in Jordan Township Asking Election

Eugene Purtelle held a meeting at the Egypt school house in Jordan township Tuesday night to start the ball rolling for an election in that township to vote a subsidy for the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. About thirty farmers attended the meeting and all the freeholders present but three signed a petition asking for an election. Mr. Purtelle told those who attended the meeting that he had the promise of support to build the road. There was quite a little enthusiasm at the meeting. Warren Robinson and Walter V. Porter accompanied Mr. Purtelle to the meeting.
