County saves on drainage tiles for roads with in-house tiles
County Engineer E. E. Larson leads the effort to manufacture concrete tile in two sizes 18 and 24 inches for small culverts. Tiles cost about $1 less per foot than purchased, saving roughly 18 to 24 dollars per culvert. Tile joints use tongue and groove ends and reinforcing steel stocks are holding up, with purchases currently difficult. Right of way has been secured for extending the Enterprise road four to five miles to join Clinton Twin Mound road, with grading and resurfacing planned and the county road system to take over the route.
