Chr. Morgensen was awarded the
contract for grading the street on the
south side of the park running east
for about a block. On Monday and
Tuesday he had nine men and five
teams working there and literally
made the dirt fly. The high spot be-
tween the Gravesen and Jacobsen resi-
dences has been cut down more than
foot and a considerable part of the
surplus dirt was sold to Wayne Jacob
sen so that he got his lot leveled off
nicely. The knoll along the park has
been cut down and rounded off to
correspond with the road bed, thus
making a fine parking space. The
low spot south of the Petersen resi-
dence was filled in more than a foot
SO that there is a gradual slope to
the road all the way now. Mr.. Nor
gensen practically finished the job
yesterday, but will come back in few
days, when the dirt has settled, to
touch it up wherever needed. Fritz
Holm was given the job of hauling
gravel for the road and will start on
that as soon as the road is fit for it.
