Main Street Paving Job Now Complete

November 13, 1921

The Warren Construction Company has completed all its work on Main Street and that thoroughfare is now thrown open to the public throughout its whole length.

The last load of “hot stuff” was laid on Tuesday morning.

Work on Richmond Road from the Susan River bridge to the Southern Pacific depot is also well under way. All the grading has been done and the work is now ready for the asphalt.

The stormy weather of the past week has delayed things somewhat, but it is believed that the work can be finished before the weather stops all work of this character.
