Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 September 1911 — ELECTION OCTOBER 14 [ARTICLE]

ELECTION OCTOBER 14

In Remington and Carpenter Tp. to Vote Subsidy to Purtelle Road. The county comrtfissioners yesterday set the date for hold-! ing a subsidy election in Carpenter tp., and the town of Remington to vote a V/a per cent tax to the proposed Purtelle electric road. The election will be held on Saturday, Oct. 14. Purtelle put up a SIOO surety bond about six weeks ago to partly cover the cost of the election, should the subsidy fail to carry, but the commissioners took no action whatever at the August term. The bond to cover the cost of the election in Newton tp., had not been filed up to yesterday noon, and the petition for an election there will likely be continued until next term. Purtelle was in the city yesterday.
