The Interurban Prospects.

Along with the ” factory talk we should not lose sight of the proposed electric railroad, which was projected by George W. Infield, and for the construction of which Morion township voted a tax subs.dy. Mr. Infield arrived in R.nsselrer Wednesday, having come down from Chicago where he stopped a day or two on his return from New York City, where he has been in the interest of the proposed road for seve.al weeks. He believes he is going to find capital for the construction of the road, and while not at liberty to discuss the situation, he says that by April Ist he expects to be able to definitely report that the capital has been procured. The subsidy for the road will expire in August of this year, unless the construction work is begun befoie that time.
