Main Street
Improvement
Under Way

That Browning's Main Street
will be prepared for a more per-
manent improvement, probably
some time next f a |, the street
committee is carrying out a pro-
gram in charge of Ernest Gray,
with one or more paid employees
assisting him. Advantage is also
being taken of a b o r available
from the Jail.
The improvement was begun
two W re k ago. Blading as to
develop a crown and cleaning of
cutters and replacement of cul-
verts have been under way since
then. This phase of the improve
ment, if plans carry, will be fol-
lowed by crawling. However,
the availability of gravel from
sources that will not be too bur-
densome upon Town funds will
determine the final phase.
Service stations are cooperat-
ing by saving refuse oil that will
be used. The street committee
are hopeful that oil may be avail
able from OF h e r sources at a
reasonable cost.
With the achievement of better
street drainage spring flood con-
troll will not be so difficult. I'm
plementing this is the proposed
diverting of flood water west of
Browning to Willow Creek.
