Progress Made During the Year 1929 in Roland
The year 1929 brought broad improvements to Roland including the Bergen Lutheran Church, new water works, extended mains, and a new fire truck. Streets were gravelled, a grocer and meat market opened, oil stations were established, and several firms changed hands. The Marshall Canning Company plans expansion and a shoe store and cobbler open in the L. C. Kahrs building. Plans for a town hall and further street work continue.
