MODERN FACILITIES 1
TO TOWN'S GROWTH
CHICAGO. Aug. 22. (TP)—Wider
distribution of electrical power,
the automobile and high munici
pal taxes, are the chief causes
cited by the Middle West Utili
ties company in its explanation
of the growing industrial impor
tance of small towns.
The company sponsored a
study of “America’s new frontier.”
Investigators’ data indicated that
the historic concentration of the
industries in large cities was a
natural re^ilt of the fact that
the great centers offered better
transport and power facilities.
THE FIRST LEASE
To the McCord Alaska Co., John
W. McCord, president, belongs the
distinction of having obtained from
the government the first lease
under the act of March 4, 1927, en
titled “an act to provide for the
protection, development, and utili
zation of the public lands of Alaska,
by establishing an adequate system
for grazing livestock.
