Water trench refills use shale substitute
City notes new water trench filling method to speed street resurfacing. Water Department Superintendent Richard C. Willson says shale-like material from quarries replaces excavated earth for immediate settling. Examples on North Prospect Street show the method in practice as rail line removals and other local changes proceed. The notebook also recalls Civil War memories from local resident Russell Breitweiser and reports on court flags and Paderewski honors.
