Jerry asked for other "fixes". Back in 1990, Joe Fiedler and I did a
Maple lab manual with the following:
The Otsego Electric Company must run a power line from Power Station 23
in Section 34 to the saw mill under construction in Section 26.
The saw mill is 2.3 km north and 5.2 km east of the power station; the
intervening private land is 1,300 m wide (east-west). The power line
must cross private land. The cost of an easement is $0.75 per meter
through the state forest and $2.25 per meter on the private land.
For the interested, the whole layout can be seen at:

What made this one for us was a student's father who worked for a power
company in Ohio told us that he had encountered our problem in his work -
that student, at least, was hooked.
Regards,
Bill
