Interurban Electric Line Poised From Britt to Minnesota Town
The region looks toward building an electric interurban from Britt through Crystal Lake to Buffalo Center and onward toward Minnesota towns, with Des Moines to Minneapolis as a long-range goal. Promoters include George B. Getty and E. M. Mabin, Iowa Falls, and some right of way has been purchased. Rumors also hint at a line from Fairmont to Spirit Lake, likely profitable. A new pure food law in Iowa is expected to arise in the next General Assembly, amid claims the state lags in safety standards. Florence Jackson, known locally, killed herself for a fakir, identified as O L Hull of Glen Falls New York. Emmetsburg rumors speak of a fourth newspaper, possibly with a Democrat-leaning slate, to be published from the Waverly Hotel block basement. A bond proposal to fund Man’s electric light plant and waterworks in Fairman was defeated 154 to 103.
