Material delays push Vernon street paving to January first
Delay stems from slow rock delivery by quarrymen. RoE Standifer notes only thirteen carloads of rock received since August, needing about 450 carloads with fifty tons per car. Transportation and quarry supply issues stall construction while city and company crews advance grading work on Paradise, Wilbarger, and East Wilbarger streets to weather the season.
