PAVEMENT RIPPED
ON NORTH GARNET
Difficulty in Digging Shows
How Well Job Was
Done Two Years Ago

Excavations on a broad scale were
begun today at the site of the Church
Charles street underpass, with two
steam shovels on the scene and NOV
ing dirt at a rapid pace.
Compressed air and steel drills
were put to work digging up the pave
ment on North Garrett street to cut
a ditch for the laying of huge storm
sewer some IL feet below the surface
to drain the underpaSs at it's lowest
point This pavement was put down
only two years ago, and the thorough
ness with which the job was done
was seen in the extreme difficulty ex-
perienced in cutting through the
seven inches of solid concrete. By
ISLANDERS expressed the hope that the
concrete could be restored in as good
condition as that which is being TAX
en- up.
One shovel was working at this
point completing the last of the long
ditch extending across a part of the
First Methodist church yard and
through private property to the rear
for a distance of a block or two to
Chestnut street. Another shovel was
working between Garnett street and
the 'Seaboard Air Line Railroad
tracks, while great numbers of other
workers poured concrete and other
wise braced the railroad tracks for
their suspension while work is in prog
ress.
Highway authorities have blocked
off that portion of North Carnett
street involved in the excavation for
the underpass and will be closed for
probably ten days or two weeks.
