Talk of Another Road Promoter Visits Edwardsville
Morehouse of Troy No Y visited Kilwavidaville yesterday afternoon to inspect a proposed electric line between Edwardaville and East St Louis. He represents eastern capital and favors the electric road project. Edwardsville and Granite City areas could justify a line, linking Gollinaville, Edwardsville, Alton, and East St Louis. Provisions of the Mississippi Valley Company aim to connect the towns, but the expenditure is seen as impractical for profit rail builders. Republicans of Jharing township plan a convention at city hall on Saturday March 10 at 3 o clock to nominate township officers. Tus Cann is everybody's paper.
