to supply the right-of-way and do
the grading which, it la thought,
will not cost more than »2000 to
»3000. This sum should be easily

It would in

the banker, the trades people, the
hotel, the newspaper and add 25
per cent to the value of all property
tn Scio.
A public meeting will be held at
the I. O. O. F. hall next Saturday
evening to consider the project.

sentative of the S. P. Co. will be
there to submit their proposition to
