Indiana Road Laws Push Ahead At State Convention
From the State Capitol Special report notes the Indiana Highway Improvement Association formed with Mason Niblack as president. Planned reforms include county road superintendents, a county road tax capped at 50 cents per 100, and bond-backed gravel road construction. A national soldiers monument debate divides G A R factions as delegates organize regional road groups and elect officers for the year. Local reports cite horse thieves in Liberty Centre, pumpkins and corn prizes in Martinsville, a counterfeit ring in Fort Wayne, and farming, industry, and health updates across Indiana counties.
