A Progressive People

A Progressive People.

Mr. J. W. Kime, chairman of the Springs-Ellesmere Power Board, offered his cordial congratulations upon the progressive step taken. That the Dunsandel people were progressive was shown by the fact that very soon after the power district was constituted they asked that the township should be reticulated and that an outer area should be formed so that the current could be taken to a number of farmers living in the Selwyn County portion of the district. That was before a good part of the Board's district had been linked up. He believed that the Dunsandel station was the first in the Board's district to be lighted by electricity.
