Union office notes a major south town project as county crews remove the small bridge east of the Marvin Gardner residence and replace it with a large tube. Heavy truck traffic uses the low clearance under pass on Hwy. Unofficial word says Karl Tuttle hauled in a large fish recently then lost gear to the catch. A new building replacing the former blacksmith shop of the late Fred Tidlmont is under construction, improving the area.
