The Crawfordsville City Council met Tuesday with Councilman Sears presiding in Mayor Fillion's absence due to a death in the family. Plans call for vitrified brick or block roadways and 12 inch cement sidewalks. Athens and Crawfordsville brick options were noted. The Bedford Lime and Coal Co. was awarded a year contract to furnish nut coal for the Waterworks. Several street and water mains issues were discussed, including a proposed 17th street main, a rescinded 22nd street branch, and a 2 inch alley main originally laid to serve the dry district. An ordinance banning foul deposits within two miles of the city was approved, and Monon Railroad officials anticipate opening a branch line to Linton by July 4 boosting coal traffic through the region.

Oil well delves toward 2400 feet near Leatherwood bottom
The Egyptian Oil Co. well on the Marks place south of town has passed 400 feet and may reach 2,400 feet to cross Trenton rock if oil or gas signs appear. The 12 inch wrought iron casing marks it as the largest well in the area. Last night a social gathering at the Goodman home witnessed music and friendship among 18 guests. L. P. McCormack steps down as labor commissioner, to be replaced by George W. Purcell of Terre Haute, and will raise draft horses on a farm north of Indianapolis. He notes no major strikes in the state, with only Atkins in Indianapolis and iron moulders at Terre Haute idle. Greene county may resume saloons at the July county commissioners term, with two applicants expected. Bloomfield has been dry since January, though past booze rings existed. The remonstrance may yield two more withdrawals, enabling licenses to be granted in a heated fight expected to outdo the prior campaign.
