Review of Past Year
Shows Steady Advancement
Much Has Been Accomplished By
City and County In II Months
Industries Show Growth

tnt year 1878 mas been one oil
record within this county and the
city OF Fallon has benefited mater
Tally through a number of resources.
The fact that the county or more
properly speaking the project has
advanced despite the hard times that
have been chronicled In many other
sections is a pleasing feature. New
acreage has been added to the project
as is shown In the report from the
reclamation office and valuations
have advanced materially In prac-
tically all lines of agriculture and
business.
City improvements
During the past twelve months
many city improvements have been
noted. possibly the most important
being the laying of something over
a mile of concrete highway from the
east to the west border line of this
city.
In order to bring about this civic
improvement. and one that is ad-
mitted as being substantial, it was
necessary to make concessions by
both the city and the government. as
the Scott ditch right of way had
stood in the way of this progress for
a number OF years. and 1t required
some diplomacy both on the part OF
the city. the government and the
state department of highways. The
result Is most satisfactory and this
matter has been cleared and the peo-
pie are enjoying the result of this
work.
The work on the streets within
the city has been an important fea-
ture. as they have In most instances
been given more or less repair, Ia
some instances almost OF a perma-
nent nature. and the program calls
for a continuance of such work under
City Engineer Young. The demand
for this work has exceeded the fund
supply, but considering the money
available and the material on hand
a record has been established from
the city government in this one par
ticular.
There has been considerable I'M
provement made to the sewerage sys-
tenn and several laterals have been
made which has materially enlarged
the scope of civic Improvement on
that line. Several fire hydrants have
been added to the system, which now
ranks as among the best OF It's KIND
in the state, and has placed Fallon
on a very enviable basis as far as
fire insurance is concerned.
improvements have been made to
the electric system and IL is stated
from the city clerks office that cleo
tricity will be available this coming
summer for cooking purposes. Dur
ing the time betterments have been
made at the power house at the dam,
and when finished the new penstock
will make assurance possible OF no
such thing as shortage of power for
this valley and section. This has
been practically accomplished within
the year.
During the year the addition to
the Methodist church with It's gym
nasium was made. noticeable and
worthy building feature within the
city limits The recently erected
guild hall at the Episcopal church IS
am ong the civic attractions that has
gone up within the twelve months.
AS n building feature of progress
the additions to the high school ranks
foremost. and the recent acceptance
OF the new section by the board of
trustees was done with fitting tribute
10 those who visioned this substantial
necessity toward educational features
In Fallon. This addition positively
gives this community the finest
building within the state. and 1t has
been so conceded by members OF edn-
cational boards from other sections
of the state.
Many homes have been improved
and number OF residences nave
been completed and occupied. There
has been no boom. but steady ad'
vancement in all such life ana a
marked Improvement over the year
1929.
County EnIargements
Possibly the most important addt-
ton to county resources and future
Is the dairy interests which have been
nearly doubled within the year IL
Is shown by the reclamation report
that 5000, 900 worth OF dairy stock
waa added to the project within the
wear, which is remarkable growth
and one that speaks for permanancy'
