Road Construction Progress Report From Local Camp
McCann and Co moved their grade camp to the W L Taylor farm three miles north of town and work on the road toward the Joe Nickell farm proceeds with day and night crews. Dynamite work under Will Stone and John Kenley advances slowly yet steadily as weather stays favorable and the bridge crew pushes pile driving and abutment completion. Detours on Number 5 reflect heavy traffic and safety concerns as dynamiters keep travelers back during charges. Sewing Club met at the Harmon home with Ada Bolling hosting a social afternoon of conversation and needlework along with a two course luncheon.
