Last week, the Public Works
Department took delivery on
three pieces of equipment that
replaced four pieces of equip-
ment that had reached the end
of their useful life. The fi rst
piece of equipment replaced
was a 2007 Elgin Eagle street
sweeper, which was replaced
with a 2015 Schwarze Ava-
lanche street sweeper. A new
2015 John Deere 4052M tractor
replaces both a Case skid steer
and a 1999 John Deere trac-
tor located at Middlefi eld Golf
Course. This tractor will be
used to load material and also
pull gang mowers when neces-
sary. The third piece of equip-
ment replaced was a 1994 John
Deere tractor-mounted Tiger
mower, replaced by a 2005 John
Deere tractor-mounted Tiger

keeping and documentation,
loose fi ll and unitary surfacing,
concrete footers and wooden
structures on playgrounds, plas-
tic degradation and metal cor-
rosion and fasteners and con-

program for several years; the
fi rst serious effort was made
in 1937 when a considerable
amount of correspondence was
carried on between business
men, N.J. Nelson, postmaster,
and postal offi cials. The pro-
gram was carried far enough
that several tentative sites were
submitted. At this time however,
it seems that it was the policy of
the postal department to locate
federal buildings in county seat
towns. Since that time postal re-
ceipts here have practically dou-
bled and many feel that Cottage
Grove would be in an excellent
position to secure a federal of-
fi ce building, even if the present
allotment does not materialize.
