Music for tlie program- was furnished by a male quartet consisting of
Tom Riley; A. J. Linden and Rev. and
David  MacKinney1.
The following facts were .brought,
out by the various speakers': The
government has made a loan to the
Cooperative of some' $400,000 at 2.8
per cent interest for a period of 20
years, to be used for the construction
of lines in Cass County. The cost ot
building a line is $1,000 per mile.
The government will approve the
allotment of money for lines where-
an average of three customers per
mile will take current. Service lines
from highways to dwellings, up to
Hit it i feet in length will be built by
the company without charge to the
customer.
The rates charged are 8%c for the
first step, 5c for the second step and
2%c for the second hundred kilowatts. Everything over 200 kilowatts
at 2c. The cost of -wiring varies
from .S."i.00 per out! et down. The
Coop, will loan the consumer up to
80 per cent of the cost of wiring and
arrange monthly payments. Minimum bills run $3.59 per month for
farms and  $2.00.for rural residences.
The state will pay 75 per cent or
the wiring cost on state owned farms.
These lines, when finally paid for,
will be the property of'the farmers.
Each person who takes current must
purchase a share of stock in the Cooperative' Company at a cost of; $2.00.
As soon\ as a stockholder begins using current he will be voted in as an
active member and will have a voice
in the operation. The .shares are nonassessable and the loan is secured by
the power lines. If for any reason
the line is not built the cost of the
share will be refunded. The only
other cost before current is turned
on is $2.50 for meter installation and
a $5.00 deposit to guarantee payment
of bills.
Government authorities see the
wonderful future in electricity and
are perfectly willing to invest their
money in these lines, Knowing that
as civilization advances, they will be
more and more necessary to the public.
Solicitors are at work writing
contracts in the country this week.
This is a chance for every farmer to
enjoy the many conveniences provided
by electricity.
