Mr.. Rasmussen, Gays that applications
are coming in quite frequently for the
erection OF loading platforms. He seems
to favor the graded driveway as being
the most convenient for loading from
wagons. There will be determined d
movement to get the right to elevate,
sites along the line OF railroads for pri
vate buyers. Small elevators with com.
peting buyers are demanded everywhere
by the farmers, says the commissioner.
