Moravia Council Discusses Street Improvement Plan
Moravia city council studied a street paving plan for the business district presented by Bob Reed of Reed Construction Co. The project covers hot-mix asphalt paving from Grace Methodist church corner to the square and from the bank corner east to East Street with a 30 ft wide slab. Costs are estimated at about 10,000 for grading, 42,750 for asphalt, 600 for curb, and 7,000 for the square’s west-side slab. The council plans to proceed, potentially issuing bonds, with completion after state and county work. Reed expects one week of grading and up to two weeks for asphalt. a drainage lowering is proposed. The council also granted permission for a Household of Faith revival at Moravia park on May 26 and 27, and discussed a new 21 by 35 ft concrete playing floor in the park funded by city salaries and contributions from others. Iowa Southern Utilities Co announced George Woodward’s promotion to stores coordinator in Centerville. he and his family reside in Moravia.
