 tulvert Finished
 The Park street Culvcrt which was being built by Cosmo NaCca, local contractor, has been finished for several days and one side Of Park street is now open to traffic.

 The culvert now furnishes the re- ilef sought from the state highway department in this city after many years from danger caused by floods when the old miniature affair over flowed. On several occasions the eel lars of business establishments along Park and School streets were inun- dated, The completion Of the culvert. which has been constructed diag- onally across Park street, will be welcomed by city officials as con siderable damage has been done each year to streets and city prop ertY by flood waters. The new cul- vert is wide enough to care for the entire flow of the stream and for the flood debris which blocked up the old. small Culvert.
