Workmen Begin Steam Subway Construction Near Courthouse

Crews started building a 42 by 44 foot concrete steam subway between the jail and the courthouse. The project, costing about 1100, will allow future repairs and improvements with an interior working space. Workmen are cutting through courthouse foundations to create an opening, delayed by rain. The steam line previously rested on the ground, wasting heat and increasing coal use, while corrosion and leakage troubled the system. The improvement is expected to yield long term value far beyond its cash cost.
