i Seventh street. The alley, accord
ing to provisions of the project,
would be put in good condition.
Another major improvement
called for is grading and crushed
stone surfacing of Tenth street
north of the intersection with F
street.
Also included In the project is
necessary grading and gravel sur
facing on a number of dirt streets
in the outlying sections of the
city.
Early approval of the project
is anticipated.
The work will be carried out
by the WPA with the city as
sponsor and with each bearing a
portion of the cost.
