. . 16 is that the villages are growing so fast. In Rosevill. we have 8,200 homes or 30,000 population today. Just about three years ago you could buy industrial land in Rosavilla anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 to $4,000. Today it's varying from $4,000 to $8,000 and the last land sold to a trucking outfit was $6,900 an acre. So it shows by having sewer is bringing in industry.

This winter you notice how cold it was, the ground froze down deep and the
