Road Crew Boosters Keep Beaver Roads Moving
A band of farmers business men and loyal citizens work this week on the east and west state road south of Beaver. Progress is swift and the project promises safer traffic. Critics say the county board favors contracting and higher costs, while voters anticipate a change after July 1 1919. Beaver’s 1919 basketball trip to Alva featured a girls team disqualified in finals a decision locals deem unjust yet the team still earned admiration for performance.
