this year.
There is still time to construct
the Jonesville line, Mr. Bryan
said, but work must begin very
soon if it is to be finished by
Oct. 1. It is probable that the
proposed line extension, if it is
authorized, will necessitate some
rebuilding of existing lines from
the Eklutna plant, the REA head
explained.
