Actual Work Begun on Interurban.

W. T. Elmore, who is actively interested in the Lafayette & northwestern Traction Co., reports to us that actual construction work has begun. This is a little previous to the way they wished to do things, but Hie law is such that it was necessary in order to hold their franchises that they begin work and make a showing of actual construction work.

There are at present four or five teams at work making grade at or near the Round Grove location. The surveying corps are still at work and making good progress. It is estimated that they will reach Remington in about a week. A slight variation in the route formerly selected has been agreed upon, but of no perceptible importance.

Ixit us hope that the eomjiany’s assertion that the road will be completed and running cars in a year comes true, as there is a decided need for the construction of such a road and we have always asserted that the company that has foresight enough to construct a line between Chicago or connecting points and Lafayete will eventually reap a big reward.—Remington Press.
