COAL ROAD MUST GO IT ALONE

The Brazil division of the C. & E. I. is to be separated from the main branch of that road as the result of a decision of the supreme court. The ‘ Metropolitan Trust Co., of New York had brought suit against the C. & E. 1., which had been accrued by the Coal road; but the court's decision relieves the main road from the payment of these obligations, hence the latter will have to make its own way from now on. And this is not going to be any small task, as the road has been having some difficulty to remain in existence. This division bbcamo a part of the C. & E. I. In 1885 whcfl it was purchased to prevent it from being built on into .Chicago and becom.ing a competitive road. It was not consolidated as a part of the incorporation, however, until 1894. The terminals of this .division will now be Momence and Brazil, and

if ths road •ontinuos Ha oerrioe ta Chicago a right-of-way leuae will have to ba effected with the orala road. With itn severance from the mala lino the fate of the coal road win likely hang in the balance until it la taken im by oomo other road, as it has never been self-sustaining.—Oxford Genette.

County Superintendent Sterrett was present and was chosen* to preside at the meeting by unanimous vote. Trustee Harrlngtpn presented in a very clear and logical manner the exact financial status of Union township. Able speeches were delivered by Steve Brusnahan, John Alter, Joseph Norman, Mr. Kosta, Extrustee Hammerton, Mr. Simonds, Sol Norman, Katherine Shields, A. C. Campbell and others. A vote of confidence was presented by Mr. Brusnahan and seconded by Mr. Alter that Trustee Harrington would consult Attorneys Williams, Halleck or Dunlap to discover whether the funds necessary to extend the- term another month could be legally procured. The motion met with unanimous approval upon the first vote. Trustee Harrington requested that the motion be reconsidered and decided upon standing vote. The motion was reconsidered and there were five who voted against school extension. This was about seven per cent of those who voted. The teachers agreed to donate two weeks’ teaching if the township would give a month more than the minimum. The matter was then taken under advisement by the trustee and a definite decision would be announced next Wednesday. Mr. Lesh, a member of the advisory board, was present and expressed himself as one member of the board who would favor making the appropriation necessary if the funds could be obtained. Messrs. Zellers and Stevenson are the other members of the advisory board who were not present.
