Show 'HsEE-SAW ! Well, sir, a stroller this week noticed two activities on East 21st South street between 11th and 13th East. And he reported, and his report was checked, that this is what he saw: One concern was industriously building a new wall to accommodate accommo-date its business functions after the state road commission begins work on widening 21st South. This concern, without hesitation, gave the commission an option on 12 feet of its entire frontage for the widening of the street. Another concern was just industriously in-dustriously putting up a great sign atop its building, the sign showing I every indication of being permanent. perma-nent. This concern, however, is the ONLY one on the south side of the two-block area which did NOT option a single foot of its frontage for the street widening project. D. H. Whittenberg, chairman of the state road commission, said the widening, however, will go ahead, for no one concern could stop it now. ' He said the one dissenter to the project would have his case thrown into court for a fair judgement', but that weather is the only thing now holding up the widening. Work, he said, would begin before be-fore summer, will be completed before autumn. |
