Finkelnbure plans excavation to expose a corner stone buried four or five feet at the northeast corner of nine land Steven nests. The street at that corner sank years ago and needed dirt filling before Mt sul Tolerae built up. A vacant lot sits north of the corner several feet below street level as survey work aims to place Samuel Eder’s brick building on proper lines. The European Sunday dinner is noted as the latest fad.
