Frank Kresler again owns the former Conrad Kellner property in the east part of town. He traded the property to Albert Duggins and now Mr. Duggins has again traded it to him, taking in exchange the 80-acre farm ten miles north and threefourths of a mile east of Rensselaer, which Mt.

The telephone company is removing its poles from Cullen and Forest streets from the Makeever hotel to the depot, having put their wires down the alleys. The removal of the poles will greatly improve the appearance of the street. If the city would naw do likewise and then put the same modem lighting system along the street that there is on South Cullen street the appearance would be very attractive. The street is considerably cut up by heavy travel and should some time be made a hard surface street.
