between this city and Tama, running
thru rich farming country and tap

intention of adopting electricity in the
future If such step is deemed advis-

line with local capital, business men

holders and taking first mortgage
bonds to protect their stock. In state

say:

of all the questions, and we have
also had the advice and consul
tation of a local engineer and many
of the best business men and farmers
along the proposed line. and it is the
unanimous opinion of all, that there
is way, and one way only, for this
community to get a railway We are
also Of the same opinion that it is
absolutely useless to go on in the
future as in the past, that is to make
small contributions to the same, to
