Shortly after 2 p.m. on Saturday and the Link-Line gas contractors are finished their first day’s work on replacement of the old gas mains under South Bayview. It was a good sign for merchants as workers took down their no parking signs and let business on the west side return to normal. Cutting and trenching will go down the west side to replace the cast iron mains. We trust there will be steel sheets to cover the trenches and permit parking when work is done each day. This was the routine when new electric conduits were placed two years ago and it seemed to work fairly well. Later, it will be necessary to dig holes on the east side at various locations to connect the new main to buildings. See post below. Quitting time on day one of gas main work
