Moravia Notes On Roads Waterworks And A New Home
Postmaster Pettibone asks if Moravia will be declared a disaster area amid ongoing water mains installation, noting driving hazards. A new automatic laundry service occupies the old grocery site near the bank, displaying a broom and a zinc washboard in its front window. The author and spouse have moved to a new home in the town’s neat section, with Charity Gary and Mrs. living in the former residence’s basement during construction of a new house, a project marked by weather delays and a flood in the previous basement hole.
