Progress on Big Storm Sewer Under Oklahoma Street
Acting city manager A V Barber reports the city is advancing its largest project the storm sewer from Peoples State Bank to the bay and the disposal sewer on Missouri. Quicksand delays persist but pumps keep water low so progress remains steady. The 60 foot sewer under Oklahoma Street will drain water from Wisconsin and Minnesota streets and save city funds by self financing. Completion depends on paving work by the county on Oklahoma and Missouri streets.

Lt Gov Ben Ramsey urged stockpiling oil to lessen reliance on imports as a defense and economic tool. He cited feasibility of storing oil in depleted fields or salt domes and tied oil stockpiling to foreign aid and national defense planning.
