Electric Line Crosses the River.


Our readers will be interested in
the following description from last
weeks McGregor Times of the eros
sing of the river at McGregor Of the
transmission line of the Mid-Conti-
mental Utilities Company.
The cable lines were stretched
last Thursday and Friday from the
tower on the Island over to the top
of Point Ann on the Iowa shore.
The distance from the ninety foot
tower over to the top of Point Ann
is about $500 feet. Two wires were
carried over Thursday and one
Friday. Floats were used on the
river to help get the wire over. On
Point Ann an anchor is used, extend
ing far down into the earth and
rocks, in order to make it secure. 1t
has been a big job constructing the
tower and doing the work on Point
Ann, but it was the only way to span
the Father of Waters" From the
island eastward to Prairie du CHEN
the wires are attached to poles. No
serious difficulties are encountered
between the tower and Prairie du
Chen. The electricity is furnished by
the power dam at DEBORAH, except
in case of accident, when the power
plant at Galena would be brought
into play.

Marshal and Sewer Inspector Offices
Combined

Combined.
For the past two years the city Of
DEBORAH hired sewer inspector, Mr..
o. n. Quandahl to look after the
sewer system throughout the city.
While the work did not consume all
his time, yet his services were need
ed to look after the system and see
that it was in working condition at
all times. Since the resignation of
Marshal Dickson it was the thought
of the council that the Office Of mar
shall and sewer inspector could be
combined, letting one man take care
of both jobs, so after a committee
investigated the matter it was re-
commended to use the services of
one man only for both, so Mayor
Bucknell appointed Mr.. Quandahl,
and his duties will be to look after
the sewer system and also officiate
as city marshal. At this rate it effects
quite saving to the city, and We be-
lieve with as equal service as in the
past. At least the new arrangement
will be given a tryout at any rate.
