Gravel pits and early road building near the river
The article recounts the discovery of gravel northeast of the river bridge, the old wagon road crossing the pit, and the durable cheap gravel roads built with two and a half yards of 85 percent gravel per row. Rudolph Schaeffer helped surface city streets as a young man, with gravel priced at $2.50 per rod. The hill shown in a photo was dug out to form a pond now under 15 to 30 feet of water.
