TOWNSHIP is DIVIDED.

Eldora Township in Two Portions.
Special to mes-Republlcan.
Eldora, June 4.-The board of super
yisors in session this week, pursuant to
q petition signed by about 100 residents
of Eldora township, has made divis-
ion of the township. All the territory
embraced in the present township of
Eldora within the corporate limits Will
be called Eldora and the portion out
side thereof is to be called Secor town
ship. It was not generally known that
such a petition was before the board.
altho the notice was published In
paper in this city as required by law.
BY many the division of the township
is looked upon as useless and unneces-
sary and an increased expense to the
taxpayers, and it is quite likely that a
remonstrance will be presented to the
board at it's next session asking that
the action of the board be rescinded and
that the township be not divided.
