WILL USE OLD POLE
COURT HOUSE FLAG POLE IS
SHORTENED; NOT REPLACED.

The work in lowering the flag staff
on top OF The court house is nearing
completion. The top part of the staff
was found to be in good condition and
the old pole will be used instead of
purchasing a new flag staff. The low
ering of the pole was a larger job
than a person would imagine upon
first thought.
The tile on the top of the tower had
to be removed and the large steele
beams forming the cupola, had to be
cut in order to let the pole, which
was larger on the outside of the tower
than on the inside, slide down. A block
and tackle was fastened to the lower
end of the staff, which was braced at
the top by a steel hoop in order to
keep it from topping over. The pole
was then loosened from it's anchorage
and let down, and the first section
uncoupled. This was repeated until the
pole is now composed of but two sec
lions instead of five as previously. The
work was done by Frank Mathews and
Maston Thomas.
