Ia all these years .our little town should have owned its electric light plant Us ice producing and ice cream plant a steam laundry could have been doing a big business, a coal yard, Whsis cemtent could be obtained, different kinds of pipe, a truck to gather up aba weakly infuse st a nominal fee, which folks would be glad to pay, thus keeping their alleys free from tba unsightly dumps, Projects like these would help to keep its finance from getting ragged. Now the good old town does not have a home it can call its own, fifty years sad no municipal place to meet the burgees one place, tee water secretary another. The hank kindly gave as s community room), thanks to the bankers, and the police head quarters some where else, and the fire company needs quarters differently arranged.
