ELECTRIC LINE PASSES MANY
PLACES ON CREEKS WHERE 1T
is PLENTIFUL AND COULD BE
HAULED IN DUMP CARS TO
CERTAIN PLACES

the farmers in wagons, it has been
suggested that 1t could be hauled by
the electric line which passes fine
gravel beds and follows one road in
to this city. The matter is being
talked of seriously and should be
considered and acted on at this time
when the roads arc at their worst.
