Quarry Seen As Salvation For City's Street Worries
Street Commissioner D E Warden hailed a newly opened Sullivan Road quarry as the city’s fix for dirt streets. Raleigh Stone Co led by Samuel T Brown has reactivated a former Lambert Brothers quarry to supply 4000 tons of 11-2inch crusher run at 2.50 per ton, plus 50 cents for hauling. He noted red dog rock quality has declined and a six inch layer of crushed rock would yield a durable semi hard surface, reducing maintenance frequency.
