A Larger Outfit For Athena Street Work
Mayor Stephens declares a light grader insufficient for upper Third Street from the macadam surface to the O W R N tracks and will use a larger caterpillar powered grader to finish the job. For years the north portion of Third Street has suffered in winter and early spring, hampering traffic. Claud Dickenson with a light grader and horses proved unsatisfactory, so the street will be leveled as much as possible for temporary use until heavier machinery is obtained.
