FARMERS STOP INTERURBAN.
One Township in Hamilton Refuses to
Vote Tax-Checks Operation of
Waterloo to Ames Line.

Webster City. Jan. lily the over
whelming vote of 11S to 54, the farm
ers in Scott township, located in the
extreme southeastern corner Of Hamil-
ton county, refused to vote tax of 4
per cent to the Water 90 & Ames in
terurban line, thus refusing them a
right of way through the township.
The people of the township were not
opposed to the road as to giving as
sistance SO much as they were to the
route. The survey ran diagonally
through the township from one corner
to the other. cutting every farm
through which is passed in a similar
manner.
The action of Scott township prob
ably blocks this railroad project 1t
least for the time being Radcliffe and
Story City, located almost at each
diagonal corner of this township touch
ed by the survey, has already voted
the per cent tax.
