Shippen is likely to be the county seat if the bill clears final passage. Also approved were Warren County borrowing authority of up to 5000 at 6 percent, a Sheriff board bill at 2.25 per week, and a charter for Oil Creek Railroad Company to develop the Oil region. Colwell Creek in Eldred township declared a public highway. The two houses plan to adjourn by April 3 with much business left unfinished. The Mail credit note misattributed Gov Bigler. Hall and Babbitt pressed for mail via the railroad last winter and compelled terms.
