JORDAN TOWNSHIP TO HOLD ELECTION

Commissioners Set Saturday, Nov. 1, as Day for Holding Stone Road Election. Attorney W. E. Harry, the Brook good roads attorney, who is beiflnd the latest effort to bring Jordan township to a higher standard by voting for some much needed stone roads, came over from Brook this Tuesday morning and remained until after the county commissioners had set Saturday, Nov. let, as the date for holding the election on the petition filed some tw r o months ago. Mr. Harry is seeing that the proper notices are being given and that everything will be in readiness for this very desirable improvement. Jordan township has done some scrapping at times past because the road projects did not seem to meet the demands, but this latest plan seems to get away with much of the objection existing in the past and it is believed that the progress of Jordan township in the matter of stone roads will not be further retarded. The election should show that Jordan township Is for progress and does not propose to permit any little jealousies to cut It out of this system of roads which will prove a great boon to every acre of land in the township. Over at Brook Mr. Harry is known as the "good roads” attorney. He Is well posted on highway laws and Ls a great booster for road improvements. At Kentland Monday he met with the commissioners and stayed with them until three road petitions had been advanced on the docket. Tn the Jordan township project he Is assisted in this county by Attorney Geo. A. Williams, .
