FRIDAY DAILY

WEST QUARRY STREET OPENED THIS MORNING TO TRAFFIC.    WE CAN NOW
DRIVE FROM THE POST OFFICE ALLEY TO THE NEW STREET AND TURN
LEFT AND GO WEST THROUGH THE FINISHED NEW INTERSECTION.
EAST QUARRY ALSO OPENED FROM THE MAQUOKETA STATE BANK ALLEY
WHERE YOU CAN TURN RIGHT AND ON TO THE NEW STREET AND
THROUGH THE NEW INTERSECTION.      HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS
SINCE MARCH.     THE MAIN AND QUARRY INTERSECTION IS NOT QUITE DONE.
STREET CONSTRUCTION TODAY REACHED THE FRONT OF THE THEATRE.
YOU CAN SEE SAND LOWER LEFT BEHIND THE SIGN.
LAST SATURDAY THE FIRST CONCRETE WAS POURED AT THE MAQUOKETA AND ANDREW NEW VETERAN'S MEMORIAL AT THE SOUTH EDGE OF
MT. HOPE CEMETERY.    IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE WHERE EIGHT
VOLUNTEERS POURED 8-YARDS OF CONCRETE.

THIS NEW LARGE POLE BUILDING IS GOING UP ON SOUTH 5TH STREET,
JUST SOUTH OF THE HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND A LITTLE NORTH OF
THE SCHOOL BUS BARN.     IT IS  NOT A PROJECT FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.    I HAVE NOT FOUND OUT WHO IS PUTTING  UP THE BUILDING.
AN OLD HOUSE WAS TORN DOWN TO MAKE WAY FOR THIS NEW BUILDING.
