Will Erect Poor Farm Buildings
will Spend The Thousand Dollars Improving the
Psor Earm-No Election Necessary
Says States Attorney

good structures can be erected for
that money.
During the month Of June that
county had to pay $541.s5 for the
maintenance Of its poor, some OF
whom are at the hospital and others
are boarded out. Many Of those re-
ceiving aid from the county will be
able to earn their way at the farm
after the buildings are erected. Cows
can be kept at the farm, and the hos
pital supplied with milk, saving an
expense Of 800 a month there. Then
there are a number who are living
of the county and having a nice
easy time, who will probably be
taken care of In some other way, II
they learn that they are expected to
earn their way rs far as they can.

hopes to see It built ultimately. The
line can he built for three or four
thousand dollars a mile, with 100
pound rails, heavy enough to haul
freight cars by means of an electric
motor. Mot much, grading would be
necessary. A couple of power plants
would be built at the ends of the
line, and the farmers along the line
could be supplied with electric lights
II desired. The road would pass thru
one of the richest farming countries
in the world, and the plan is a most
feasible enc. All that is needed is
the capital to build the line, and the
proposition would be a big success.
Such a road would extend Minot's
