>From the Eau Claire Daily Telegram, Saturday, 14 March 1942: Removal of Car Tracks Will Be Started Soon Removal by the city of the street car tracks on Bellinger street, Chestnut street, Fifth avenue, Grand Avenue west, and Grand avenue east, from the bridge to Graham avenue, is scheduled to get under way within the next few weeks, but the time has not yet been definitely set, it was learned today. The Northern States Power company recently transferred title to the tracks and other equipment on the streets mentioned to the city along with a specified sum of money, to be paid to the city, with the city agreeing to remove the tracks and to repair and restore the streets to their former condition. The removal will be made by WPA cres. The city will sell the salvaged steel rail and other steel for scrap, the sale to be made in accordance with government instructions. When the tracks in the block between the east end of the Grand avenue bridge to Graham avenue are removed and while the street is torn up, it is planned to put down a new sanitary sewer in that block to replace the present sewer, which has been found to be in bad condition. +++++++++++++++++++ Have a safe and restful holiday weekend everyone! -- Nance
