Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 247, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 November 1917 — Public Service Commission to Hold Section at Wheatfield. [ARTICLE]

Public Service Commission to Hold Section at Wheatfield.

Editor John Bowie returned from Indianapolis this Friday morning, where he had been before the Public Service Commission to oppose the petition of the Chicago and Eastern Indiana railway to take off their passenger train on the LaCrosse division. The Commission will hold a meeting at Wheatfield on Friday, Nov. 9, at the Primo theatre and will be attended by a large number of Rensselaer businessmen. Editor Bowie has had several rounds with the railroad on this proposition and has always won his battles in the interests of the people along the line of this railroad. He will be able to win out again if given the proper support by all who are affected by this proposition. It is a matter of vitaT interest to the people of Jasper county and affords the only convenient and reasonable means for the people of the north part of the county to reach the county seat. To the businessmen of Rensselaer it means that should this train service be discontinued a large number of our people from the north end of the county would do much of their trading at Judson, Knox and Kankakee.
