There is strong talk of organizing a
local company for the purpose Of putting
an electric lighting plant in Dickinson.
A meeting was held last Saturday night
for the purpose of considering the matter,
and if it can be shown that investors
would get reasonable returns on their
money, there will be no difficulty in
capitalizing a company for $4,000 to
$4,000 as may be required to give the
town good electric lighting service.
dickinson is to have a state bank to be
capitalized at $4,000 within a period of
| about six months. The officers and stock
holders will be citizens of this place, men
of means and good standing. w. L.
Richards has bought lot " in block A.
the Burkholdcr cigar factory site-and
has an option on the adjoining lot east.
A brick building will be erected and it
is now expected that the foundation will
be laid before the winter sets in. There
is no reason why a second bank should
not do we'll in Dickinson, and we are glad
that local parties, rather than outsiders.
are taking hold of the enterprise.
