New Madrid is continuing improvements to its electrical and water systems. The city recently entered into a $5,225,000-lease-purchase agreement which will fund the replacement of overhead electric lines and construction and improvement to electric substations as well as constructing and installing water lines. Pictured are Lee Lane and Anthony Cox, employees of Southern Electric Co., as they work on electrical lines at the intersection of Kingshighway and Pinnell.
