New City Building Under Construction Progress Report
Workmen laid the first concrete flooring for the new city building late yesterday. Concrete for the police garage was poured and crews worked until 930 PM. Superintendent Edmonds said the police section should be finished by Monday or Tuesday if rain stays away. After pouring the first floor in the west section, crews will lay the basement floor and then proceed to the fire department area. A heavy steel reinforced door is being installed for the entire building. West side bricklayers install steel window frames and buff bricks to the second floor. When walls reach the second floor, the final steel beams will be placed. Edmonds cautioned on completion date, noting weather could push finish to early next year. Construction may slow slightly due to the $80,000 bond issue approved by voters for an August election. If passed, a third floor and drill tower will be added. A large steam boiler was lowered into the basement and pumps keep water out during recent heavy rains.
