75 Years Ago

Herald of July 14, 1949

Although the opening of the Williamsburg Free Public Library has been delayed until this fall, citizens of the community are hard at work completing the library which will serve the northern section of Morrisons Cove.

State Highway Department crews are working toward a deadline of August 12 for completion of the rebuilding of West Allegheny Street, South Market Street from Penn to Spring Streets, and Spring Street to the airport.

Weather conditions made a complete turnabout in Morrisons Cove during the past week, when more rain fell in one day than in the preceding month.

The question of Sunday dinner was a problem in many homes of Martinsburg and other Cove sections receiving electric power through the Curryville sub station, as the power went off without warning at 8:20 and did not come back on until after 1 o’clock.

Two highway rebuilding projects of considerable interest to Morrisons Cove residents are listed for next year.
