Scope and content
New paving on Alexander Avenue. Plans were to pave and widen Alexander Ave. to the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp., from 18 feet to 36 feet. The 11th Street Bridge would also be resurfaced. As soon as bids were received for the paving job, work began. The job was scheduled to be completed in 10 days. The road work was needed to handle the increased traffic at the shipyards. (T.
