LIGHT PLANT CONTRACTS LET

GROUND TO BE BROKEN SOON AND WORK RUSHED TO EARLY COMPLETION. ■ t Contracts have been let by the town board for the building of the Mt. Ayr Electric light plant ana lines as well as those for materials, and the work is expected to begin as quickly as the material arrives and rushed through to finish as early as possible. * , Harry J. Fritch, of Watseka, Hl., was the lowest bidder on the building contract and was awarded same. The structure is to be of cement blocks and to be 14x20 feet with a 12 foot ceiling and will be located on the park just south of the school well house, unless some public spirited citizen comes forth and donates a site otherwise for it. This is all the land the town owns, and it is not in position just now to buy any, hence the selection of the above place. The contract for the building of the town lines was let to T. H. Dixon, of Kentland, while the contract for the engine went to the Fairbanks Morse Company, and the generator and material contract was awarded to the Western Electee Co The bonds were handled by the Mt. Ayr bank.
