Line to Love
Recommended
A movement is on foot to establish
a high lino to the Love community
from Tulla at the sumo
time another plan is under pro
gross to build a telephone lino to
Love whore a relay station will bo
built and a number of farmers out
there will connect with the station
consequently will be connected
with Tulla and have service from
hoio
Both of these piojects are very
Important to tho development of
the territory east of Tulla The
high lino would servo approximately
20 or more dairy and poultry
farms with lights and power to
run their separators feed grinders
nnd other things that keep the
oijsh coming in every day in the
month The telephone lino would
servo a very rich territory and
would also prove an invaluable
asset to both Tulla and territory
A recent meeting was hold by
the officials of tho Tulla Chamber
of Commerce and a number of the
prominent farmers this side and
a number of important things in
regard to the cost valuo and other
things peitlnont to tho propositionA mooting will bo held in the
near futuio in that community between
tho citizens of Tulla and
those out of town to thresh tho
matter out It is to be hoped that
boh of these things can bo put
over and the citizens of Tulla
should respond readily to anything
that can bo done to assist in put
ting it over
