The Vail business mems club are
considering the possibility of procur.
ing electric juice from transmission
lines from Denison. The Vail OBJ
server last week had the following
concerning the matter: Messrs Walk
er and Mcintosh, OF Denison were
here Friday evening to meet with
the business mems club, and talk
over the proposition Of running an
electric light wire from Denison to
Vail to furnish us with electric light
The matter was discussed at the
meeting, and an expert lineman was
here Saturday to make a plat of the
town and figure out the cost OF the
proposed line. Vail is badly in need
of lights, and the old. gas plant is
about played out and any money spent
in repairing it would be a loss. We
think a line from Denison would be
better than small plant at home.
1t would be cheaper in the long run
and we would be always assured Of
plenty OF light and power as Denison
has one Of the best electric light
plants in this part of the state. The
proposition will be taken up by the
council and il possible to raise the
money, the necessary steps will be
taken to sell bonds to secure for Vail
what it so badly needs-electric
lights"
