Clifton Gardens Show Storm Aftermath and Courthouse Renovation
Dust storm left light showers in some areas while others received up to half an inch. Farmers seek rain as soil dries. Contractors expanded curb and driveway paving in Clifton, with city offices coordinating continued work. Meridian court improvements included new lighting, ceilings, and a remodeled district courtroom. County offices merged, a jury room created, and a rail move planned to sequester the public. Architect Pierrepont Harrell aided the remodel with a sub $10,000 price tag. Doyle J. Borchers and family visited Clifton before returning to Washington.
