Big August Celebration Planned for Garden City and Finney
Garden City and Finney county residents plan one grand August celebration and barbecue to honor soldiers and sailors. The event shifts from July 4 due to torn streets and harvest activity, with Main Street paving and new park readiness expected by then. Community groups including Women’s Club and Canteen girls back the plan and a prominent speaker is sought.

Petition Approved for Road Paving in Finney County
Finney County commissioners approved a petition for hard surfacing a 28 mile stretch of the Santa Fe Trail road with options of gravel brick or paving. Paving could cost around 90 000 dollars per mile with U.S. government paying half and state aid covering a quarter. The project will be funded by local landowners over 20 years at 6 percent interest, with survey and construction to begin after highway commission approval.
