Something of the Plans of the
Construction
Of the Electric Line to Connect
Three Towns.
AT A COST OF sSOO,OOO
Belt Around CherryvaIe, Coffey-
vile and Independence.
T A COST OF 100000.
One Power House Which Will
Furnish City Lights.

Independence, May THE project for
connecting Coffeyville. Independence
and Cherryvale by electric line is rap
idly assuming completion.
The promoters figure that in all there
will be about thirty miles of road in
Guiding switches, etc, and that com
plete with cars, powerhouse and all
equipment, the total cost viii be $780,
00o. This can be easily f1oated in the
east. Country roads will be followed
wherever possible. but farms will be cut
through whenever necessary to shorten
distance. 1t is planned to establish a
magnificent park somewhere along the
line to encourage travel
The promoters are T. H Stamford,
George I. Guernsey and I. B. Wallace,
all of Independence, backed by eastern
capital. The franchise for the lines
through the county have already been
for franchises for electric lights in
Cherryvale and Independence. They
figure that they can light these towns
very cheaply and want to know if they
viii be allowed to do it, so they can
figure in advance on their probable in
come. The Independence franchise will
be granted in very few days, and it is
very probable that the Cherryvale fran
chise will also be granted.
The franchise as given the road by
the county commissioners starts at
CoHeyville and continues north along
the bottom road and Santa. Fe track to
Liberty. The company is a little afraid
of the river bottoms north of town, and
may change the route to the ridge be-
tween the river and Pun pkin creek.
From Liberty the road continues north
and little east until a point east of
the school house in district No. 90 six
miles east of Independence, is reached.
Here it is planned to make the juno
ton point with the lines from Cherry
vale and Independence and to erect the
powerhouse for all three branches and
for the lights in Cherryvale and Indt-
pendence. It will be about twelve miles
from Coffeyville to this junction, and
about six each from Cherryvale and In
denandenca. -
