Reed to use county yard for winter stone work plan
Greensburg Indiana August 19 Charles H Reed trustee of Washington township will try a new plan for men seeking aid next winter. He has county approval to use the county stone yard to haul unbroken stone and offer able bodied men jobs breaking stone for one dollar per day or a fraction per foot.
