New Buildings of 1903 in Dillon Drive $80,000 in 1963
A conservative forecast puts new Dillon construction for 1963 at about $80,000. Major projects include a $25,000 three story brick dormitory at the State Normal grounds, a brown stone county jail, and a two story Kiel Brothers block on Center Street. Additional improvements cover Graeter Electric plant upgrades, a power house, and several handsome residences and small commercial structures. We note a $65,000 water works contract and cement walks planned this summer.
