with copper bonding to guard against
loss Of power and a feeding wire will
be constructed from the power plant
to a point about ten miles north in
order to supply more current. 1t is
probable also that a new dynamo will
be installed in the power house.
'"The company is positive the ex-
tension can be made with the s26, 900
donation" Secretary Bolts said Fr
day morning. The extension is to
be made north instead Of south be-
cause Of the shorter distance to an
earning point. in order to carr the
interest on the investment for the ex-
tension south It would be necessary
to build about 16 miles to Stephens
Store, whereas the extension from
Moline to Santa Fe is only about 6
miles and the earning power Of the
road will be Just as large. !
The r~ightof-way to Santa Fe has
been secured and the road surveyed
and marked. 1t is now ready for the
graders to start work.
At the meeting Of the company
Thursday the following officers were
elected: Marshall Rust, president
