Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 April 1905 — THINKS ROAD WILL BE BUILT. [ARTICLE]

THINKS ROAD WILL BE BUILT.

Ex-Trustee Ryan and Trustee Phillips, of Gillam tp., were down Monday to attend the gravel road letting for that township. Mr. Ryan is greatly enthused over the prospects of securing the proposed air line electric road from Indianapols to Indiana Harbor, and which, as proposed, passes through Francesville and thence in a north-wester-ly direction through this county, striking Stoutsburg on the ThreeI. It is claimed that the proposed line will shorten the distance between Indianapolis and Chicago 19 miles over any existing line. Mr. Ryan thinks the prospects are quite good for the road’s being put through.
