John Wlnkley of Monon, was here on business this morning. Mr. Wlnkley is one of a company that Is projecting an east and west electric railroad that is slated to pass through Rensselaer. With the Infield road looking up again, and the report from Delphi that the electric Una that is to parallel the Monon is to. be pushed on north within the next year, it looks like Rensselaer ought to have one of the roads some time. The subsidy voted so r the Infield road will expire unless taken advantage of by next August, and it is rumored that Mr. Infield is getting very active and again has capitalists interested in his project It is a route that would be of inestimable benefit to Rensselaer and Jasper county, and our people would be rejoiced if arrangements could be made for its construction. If it tails ft might be a long time before Marion township could be Induced to vote another subsidy.
