easement offered by the Rauenhorst corporation for the town border metering
station could be used either by Peoples' GaS Company or by Northern St~~2S

right to serve the Rauenhorst area, it would appear that both Peoples' 02S

be serving the McKee addition area. The easement would be a 75' by 100'
parcel. Mr. Norman Eklund stated that the Northern States Power Meteri:ng
Station would be called a temporary skeleton station but would later be
