The suggestion has been made to US
that it might be advisable for our town
board to purchase good stump puller
for use IN clearing our new roads,
When not in use it could be let out to
our homesteaders for small compensa-
ton. This plan has been tried in one of
the towns in the county and found very
satisfactory. We think the plan good
one and hope our board will see their
way clear to invest in one.
It's never too soon to mend. Do it
