Petition For Injunction is Filed. Attorneys for J. J. Cole, of Kendallville, has filed a petition .in the Noble circuit court at Albion to enjoin the contractors and county commissioners from proceeding with the improvement of the Wayne-Allen township | highway known as the Drake road. ] This is the highway leading into Ken- | dallville and is looked upon as a {rival of the Blazed Trail. Hearing | on the petition has not yet been fixed. | Some residents of Kendallville fear | that if the Diake road is paved with f concrete to a width of eighteen feet by the county the state will take it over and abandon the improvement of the Blazed Trail. The injunction proceedings will be bitterly fought. The only excuse Kendallville has for opposing the Drake road improvement | is that it might divert traffic from the Blazed Trail and tourists on the high-

way would c?se to pas sthrough the business section of Kendallville. *; The residents in the other portions of the county will have little sympathy for Kendallville and the act of bringing injunction -proceedings will be: generally condemned. = o Ligonier favers the improvement of the Drake road. ~ e et it ] i | ‘There is a movement on to. locate the naticnal headquarters of Elks in| Indisnapolls, .Lo
