Poor Concrete For Corridor Delays Court House Renovation
Gallia County Court House repairs by WPA workers should wrap in two weeks if no new delays arise. Concrete for the corridor floor was poured, plastering to finish in three days, while curved glazed brick for windows caused a hold. Architect Benjamin Jones, Oak Hill, checked progress and noted final ceiling dome lighting and four rest rooms, two for staff and two for public.

I Tell Dicky of Brixton’s Financial Plan at Yale
I recount Brixton’s belief he can weather the storm with borrowed funds. I discuss telling Dicky about sending money to cover Brixton’s household bills and children’s expenses for a month or two to free his mind for financial moves. Ronald’s reaction and Marion’s dates loom as factors in the Brixtons’ dilemma.
