MONON SURVEYORS AT CROWN POINT

Have Made Four Surveys and May Get Help From Chamber of Commerce of That City. Crown Point Star. Some Monon railroad surveyors, making headquarters here for a few days, have been running different lines for the extension of the Gifford road, and on Tuesday were on a course going toward St. John that crossed the old Lowell dirt road a mile south of the fairgrounds. That is the fourth one run, and if picked upon would be of little benefit to Crown Point. Nothing thus far has been settled on to establish the new part of the road, but it is believed it will be decided in a short time. Should our chamber of commerce members be called upon to assist in getting right-of-way they will willingly do their share if the road comes near enough to our city to derive any benefit, and it’s not probable they will want to miss as good a station as Crown Point will mal?e them.
