JORDAN TO WNSHIP VOTES FOR STONE ROADS

Taxpayers Saturday Vote For a v System of Stone Roads to Cost $30,000 or More. By a vote of 119 for to 63 against, the taxpayers of Jordan township last Saturday voted in favor of a system of 'stone roads to cost as estimated by the enginW $31,126.14. At a'previous election the proposition to build stone roads was defeated by one vote. The present petition provides for a new route and one more acceptable- to the people of the township. There was a hard fight at the present election both for and against the road and the township is to be congratulated for getting into the band wagon with the rest of the towsmhips of the county in favor of good roads. This is the Hill road and another stretch of road petitioned for by Walter V. Porter et al, provides for a joint road in Marion and Jordan townships and this has already been ordered by the commissioners and will be a part of the system voted for Saturday.
