Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 February 1907 — ELECTRIC ROAD MATTERS. [ARTICLE]

ELECTRIC ROAD MATTERS.

Mr. Infield, chief promoter of the proposed Lafayette-Chicago electric line, was here Monday night with the blue-prints of the survey and had a talk with prominent parties who are interested in the road. He states that capitalists who have been seen have expressed much interest in the proposed line, but that before anything definite can be accomplished it will be necessary to secure franchises in the towns through which the road passes, and he is now at work securing such franchises. The matter was presented to the city council here, as noted in our report of the council proceedings.
