Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 July 1908 — FILLING IN SOUTH STREET. [ARTICLE]

FILLING IN SOUTH STREET.

Soqth street, leading out to Weston cemetery, is being filled in about a foot in depth in the lowest por-, tion thereof. Dirt excavated on Washington street, leading north - from the cemetery, is being used for this the dirt being taken from a cut made on the west side of C. A. Roberts’ property. South street will also be cut down about a foot at the grade by Web Reeves’ residence and a part of this dirt used for filling further west. The street when the rock is put on will be aboiff two feet higher than formerly at its lowest point, but even this will hardly keep*it out of the wet when the Iroquois gets on a genuine rahipage.
