Park Gate Extension Delayed by Materials Shortage
Lawrence Street Railway chief J H Skinner reports the Park Gate extension to Woodland Park will stop at the park footbridge due to scarce materials. Only enough rails exist to reach two thirds of the distance. The harvest season delays labor and transport, hindering progress toward Independence Day. A railway regional director allows procurement of stored ties from Union Pacific yards, with work starting at the Haskell Pasture corner and a larger crew planned to finish by late next week.
