Formers Con Secure
Cos For Six
Months Period

Farmers may obtain gasoline for
their tractors, engines and other
non-highway equipment for Pc
Rod of six months instead of three
months under a change in ration
ing regulations announced by the
Office of Price Administration.
The change is being made be-
cause of the variability of farming
operations which frequently make
it difficult for farmers to estimate
their requirements for only three
month period. The new provision
is also designed to save the farm
ers' time in obtaining rations for
operations which are SO essential
to the war effort.

Street Department

In the year 1928 the City owned
one old truck which was used for
street sprinkling purposes. No 9TH
er equipment for street work was
owned by the city. For several years
the street work was done by either
Kemps Transfer, or BleW's Trans
fer. However, beginning in that
year and for several years follow
ing, intensive studies and expert
ments were made by the street
committee, all leading toward street
improvement. 1t will be recalled
that streets each spring particular
ly in the downtown section, were
deeply rutted and almost impass-
able. Beginning in 1888 crushed
rock was put on the streets. A pa
troll grader and other equipment
was purchased until today we have
a sufficient amount of street equip
ment to at least maintain our streets
in reasonably good condition. The
city owns 3 trucks, patrol grad
er, street roller, rock crusher and

chinery. The city also purchased 40
