The work on the expansion and re
construction ot the electric system in
area is being pushed to the fullest de
gree possible. The Co-op has sent Herb
Lindsey to this area to expedite hand
ling and signing of easements.
Although no promises can be made,
the actual construction work of setting
poles, installing cross-arms, etc., is in
\ ie\v with, ot course, the reservations
being made for the manufacturers’ in
ability to fulfill their commitments.
Certain critical and “hard-to-get” a r
ticles tor the line construction have been
acquired. However, there are still other
necessary materials which have not as
yet been received, but through the pur-
t basing department ot the Co-op, everv
effort is being made to obtain the mater
ial, and immediately.
