Fire Proof Crib To Rise At Anamosa Elevator Site
Workmen began razing the old wooden corn cribs at the Anamosa elevator property near the Maquoketa Valley Rural Electric cooperative building. A new 36 by 8 by 145 foot steel crib will replace them, fire proof and with a bottom hopper, capable of holding 12500 bushels of corn. The old crib survived a prior fire, but the council says it posed a hazard, so the steel structure will eliminate the danger.
