So far as I have considered the matter the only thing in the way of extending our system to include Mt.

Yours truly, =====--- In consequence of the above letter, Mt. Ayr citizens have decided to call a mass meeting' in their town on February 24 to organize and appoint a delegation and at the same time to get all the information possible on the lighting subject that their delegates may be as thoroughly inf ormed as possible when they come here. Mt. Ayr realizes that Rensselaer has the best twenty-four hour electric service that it is possible to get, and that the proposed project is of vast importance to their little town. The citizens are also firm' in their belief that Rensselaer will be entirely just in her demands and that the quality of service will be the best available for them.
