Installing Rock Crusher
The Murphy Township Highway |
Commission has purchased a rock
crusher from the Federal Construction
Company and are installing it
on the rock bluff just beyond the

again and again that dirt roads will
not stand up in this country in the
j winter months and the Commission|
ers have taken a wise step in the
j purcha?e of a crusher.
