STONE CRUSHER PLANT IS CLOSED FOR GOOD

It will be impossible to get any more stone from Monon for road work. When the government last year refused to allow cars to be used for shipping stone, the Monbn plant was shut down. Before the embargo on cars was lifted, the owner of the plant died and the widow sold the machinery and it was shipped away. The abandonment of this plant is to be regretted, as it furnished the stone for road improvement here and the nearness of the plant saved considerable in freight.
