“Booster” Editor May Now Change About.
It has been generally understood that the proposed Lafayette & Northwestern Traction Co., would run its line into Rensselaer, if built, down Cullen street, and. we believe that the Republican has so published. In the blue print filed with the clerk of the circuit court, as provided by law, and mentioned in the petition filed for an election in Rensselaer and Marion tp., the line comes in at the west side of town on the College road and College avenue, it seems. The “booster’’ editor of the Republican, who has been so anxious to have the line come down his own street, because it would advance property values to such an extent along the line, has possibly not noticed the official survey, and may now turn against the proposition altogether.
