PURTELLE OPERATING IN WHITE CO.

Eugene Purtelle was in town last week looking after matters pertaining to his proposed traction line. He hopes to have petitions for subsidy elections in Honey Creek and Princeton townships ready to file at the July session of the Board of Commissioners, and if these townships vote aid petitions will be filed from other townships, meaning probably Big Creek and Prairie. Union having voted down a subsidy for this line once, will not likely be called upon again, and It is altogether likely that Mr. Purtelle has cut Monticello entirely off the proposed route. —(Monticello Herald.
