A consolidation OF the Hupp group
Of factories into one concern, TO be

All of these, with the exception OF
the X. c. Hupp Sales Co., have fac

land on Lycasterave.. and the con
solidation under one head will make
IL possible to operate them with one

Subsidy Elections for His
Traction Co. Lost Out in
Jasper County.

Eugene Purtelle. the erstwhile pro-
moter of the Northwestern Indiana
Traction company, has finally received
a body blow from the farmers and
towns people of Jasper county
Two subsidy elections were held and
both were last. The people there have
lost faith in Purtelle and Were not
willing to go any further in aiding him
in his plans
The following is from the Rensse-
laer Republican and explains the situa-
ton.
The proposition to vote a tax aid of
one and one-half per cent in Carpenter
and Newton townships to aid the
Northwestern Indiana Traction com
pany, promoted by Eugene Purtelle
was defeated in both townships Satur-
day. In Newton township the vote
was IS against and 20 for. 1t Is said
that only seven of those who petitioned
for the election voted for ii. Their OPP
position was based on bad faith on the
part of Purtelle, who had promised to
put up bond absolving the TOWNSHIP
from expense in holding the election in
case the project did not carry. Farm
owners were for the most part much
against the subsidy, and about all oil
them voted. Many of the tenants did
not go 20 the polls
