1913 - Dec 25 - Prospects Are Brilliant.

    C. D. Snoeberger, president of the Plymouth Electric Light and Power Co., was in town this week: He has 27 men at work on the line from Plymouth to Walkerton, now half done, and with the present favorable weather the construction goes rapidly.

    He expects to begin work in Culver by February 1 and to complete the erection of poles| and the stringing of wires here by March 1.

    This plan, of course, is contingent upon the condition of the ground.

    We take few chances in asserting that Culver will be lighted by electricity early in the season of 1914.
