Officials Lag Baldy Patches Hole in Street
After two years of pressure, C R Hansen patched a street hole in front of his business on East Oakland. He spent 14 minutes working, 30 cents on a red flag, and 1.70 for concrete, calling it a good investment cheaper than restoring a damaged second floor plate glass window. He mixed state cement and gravel, used a two by four as a trowel, and fenced the patch with crates and a blue bandanna.
