County Workman Grades Elgin Center Street
Lawrence Brausé of Weat Union, Fayette county road patrolman, spent Tuesday scarifying Elgin Center street from the mill to the M. V. Kiple corner and smoothing with his grader. The lately rough street had resisted pony outfit smoothing. Gravel on Elgin streets contains quicksand that car wheels throw up when it rains, creating a corrugated highway. Tuesday’s work should yield better streets the rest of the year.
