State Highway
To Construct
Steel Bridge
On State Route
524 Near Noble
Monroe Boundary

An old timber bent bridge on
state route 524 will be replaced
in the very near future by
complete new structure of steel
beams and piling with creosote
strip flooring, as announced by
J. E. Douglass, superintendent of
state highway work in this
county.
Actual construction of the new
bridge will begin Monday,
weather permitting. The site is
near the Monroe and Noble
county boundary. All the neces-
sary material has arrived and
has been prepared for use i'm
mediately. The work will be
done by Noble county forces of
the state highway department.
During these heavy travel
months, Noble county's only
state highway park is one of the
most heavily used in this part
of the state. Three days a week,
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days, man is at the park, locat-
ed approximately two miles
north of Caldwell. He mows the
grass, replenishes the wood sup
ply for the outside stoves,
empties the trash barrels and
does whatever other work is
needed there. Recently, the
manual water pump at the park
was broken, apparently by
vandals, and it was necessary to
replace a part, which had been
destroyed or thrown away. The
public is urged to take advantage
of the park for outings, etc, but
it is also urged that proper care
be taken to prevent accidents or
unnecessary damage.
After the annual inspection of
highway parks in 1851, the local
park was placed in one of the
top brackets and may have
taken first place, except that
there is not enough shade there
at the present. However, trees
have been planted throughout
the park, and the future promises
to provide ample shade trees. The
trees are only few years old
and are not of sufficient size to
give the needed shade.
Two complete new culverts
have been installed on route 78
near Summerfield, also several
extensions of culverts, complet-
ing repair of the entire length
of state route IS from Monroe
county to Morgan county.

1888 Water Lines
Burst" In Seams
Two Breaks Occur
In Two Main Lines

Two main water lines of the
village of Caldwell bursted with
in a period of two days last
week.
Thursday evening, at $50,
water was discovered seep-
ing up through the bricks of
Cumberland street, actually
raising the pavement in a few
places. Investigation proved that
the pipe at the corner of Cum
berland and North streets had
sprung a leak, the hole being 10
inches in length. The city crew
had the leak repaired, with the
aid of a mechanical sleeve by
Friday afternoon. However, the
various business places along the
line were without water all day
Friday.
Friday evening at about II
o'clock, another six inch main
gave way on Cumberland. near
the corner at Bridge street. This
leak was so huge that it was
necessary to replace eight feet
of pipe. The downpour of rain
on Saturday morning hampered
the work but did not stop the
men, who finished the mending
job by Saturday evening.
Merle Ball of the outside
maintenance crew of the Cald-
well Light and Waterworks, ex-
planned that both leaks were due
simply to "old age" since the
water pipes in Caldwell were
laid in 1898.
Monday, the new eight inch
water line recently installed by
the Cleveland Graphite Bronze
Co., from the city line to the
plant, gave way near the Murphy
funeral home on Main street.
Reports are that there was ex-
treme pressure on the pipes
from the surface, causing a
break. The leak was mended i'm
mediately.

precipitation was really a "life
saver" for crops in this county.
Gerald Ramage, employed with
the General telephone company,
was given treatment for a sun
stroke Monday morning at the
office of DR.. E. G. Ditch.
Ramage suffered a stroke
while near the top of a telephone
pole but he of course was an
chored by safety belt. After re-
ceiving treatment, he was re-
moved in the McVay ambulance
to his home on West street.
R. D. Buckley, Jr., was also
confined to his home Monday
afternoon, apparently suffering
from the heat.

pipeline would be in TenneS-
see and it is expected that
many of the workers will be
leaving here for that state.
Supt. Killingsworth also point
ed out that the Anderson Bros.
Construction company always
leaves a cleanup crew and it is
expected that they will be in
the county for about a month.
Laying of the new 30 inch
pipeline for the Texas Eastern
Transmission Corporation of
Shreveport, La, began four
miles northeast of Beverly, eros
sing the entire section of Noble
county and terminating at State
Highway 8 near Woodsfield. 1t
came into the county near Keith
town and continued through
Middleburg, Dudley and Fulda
into Monroe county to Highway

Council Acts To
Improve Streets
Property Owners Must
Share In Construction

At a recent meeting of the
Caldwell village council, a
petition bearing Is. signatures
was submitted to city fathers
from property owners residing
on the north end of Cumberland
street, requesting street improve
ment.
Council approved the request
of the 13 property owners and
agreed to go along to the extent
of one-third of the total cost. The
property owners must share two
thirds of the cost. 1t is reported
only three property owners fail
ed to sign the petition for the
street Improvement.
A policy adopted by the coun-
ciI is in the effect that where
street improvements are re-
quested only a majority of the
property owners signatures are
necessary. Final action on this
matter will be taken up at a
subsequent meeting.
A similar proposition was of
fered to property owners on
Oaklawn avenue where a num-
ber of requests have been previ-
ously submitted to council for
street improvement. 1t is the
consensus of opinion that a
majority of property owners will
approve the recommendation of
the village council.
In both instances, the streets
will be hard surfaced and a con-
crete BERN constructed.
