Col. Grove To Get
Modern Elevator
A new modern concrete and steel
grain elevator will be erected in
Columbus Grove this summer to re
place the structure destroyed by fire
last week, according to plans an
nounced Tuesday.
The new elevator will be 80,000 to
100,000 bushels storage capacity in
stead of the 18,000 bushel capacity
of the old one.
Whether the new elevator will be
located on the old site has not yet
been determined, since because of its
larger size the former location may
not be large enough.
Work already has started to clear
the salvage and debris from site of
the burned building.
