Street Paying Trouble Spot on Washington Street
A Washington Street segment between Twenty sixth and Thirty sixth Avenues is described as a mess. A delegation led by J C Anderson Jr of HOLO Amarillo appeared before the city commission with a petition to fund ten blocks at once. The project, approved by WPA, began but stalled after material costs neared 3000 dollars per signer and others refused to pay. WPA withdrew labor as work was not continuous, leaving patches of curb and base and an almost impassable street. City officials note the issue and a Friday meeting at Levine's with John Maynard Lbr is planned.
