Cement Abutments Begin for Cass County Bridge
Near Anita, across the creek by the John Allen farm, Hunter's crew starts the first cement abutments for a Cass county bridge.

The board intends cement for all county bridge abutments, endorsing a steel bridge with cement supports for long life and rare repairs.
