Modern Construction Company Makes
Quick Work of Fill for the
New Structure.
From Wednesdays D.Uiv
The Mo'lom Construction Co., of
this city, who have carried out a
great many large contracts in paving
and moving dirt and grading, have
their work down to a point where
they can give the greatest efficiency
and speed in handling the job. which
is reflected in the fill that they are
making on North J5!h street near
Oak.
This fill is being made at the new
concrete culvert that is replacing the
old time bridge over the creek on
15th street and which Is a wonder
ful piece of work in making for the
betterment of the street.
The Modern Construction Co., had
the contract for the erection of the
culvert that was built by the county
to replace the bridge and now gives
a permanent means of crossing the
creek that will defy time and be a
safe means of travel and handling
the surface water that may sweer
down the creek.

trip is made from the tourist park
with a load of dirt and hack in nine
minutes, and this is kept up for the
entire day as the teams are busy
loading up the trap as the truck
leaves for the scne of the fill and
have it all ready when the trucks
returns. With the usual Mc.viaKen
foresight J. II. McMaken has plenty

it is pushed right along.
The job of making the fill should
