Two auto crashes are reported Two auto accidents were reported and investigated last Friday and Saturday, December 24 and 25. During the noon hour on Friday, Ralph Peter Elbert was driving at a slow pace north on Thorington. Jane Faber was driving in the same direction and came over the hill but could not stop before colliding with the Elbert car because of the icy road. Estimated damage to the Elbert car was $270 to the trunk and tail lights. Damage to her auto was about $50 to the front Jess Lashbrook, a dedicated public servant for almost 50 years, resigned as Street Commissioner of Algona on Wednesday, Dec.

29 at a regular meeting of the City Council. He started working part-time for the street department in 1916 for 25c an hour. He was hired fulHime in 1920. At that time the equipment consisted of two hired teams of horses fore and the ruts became deeper and deeper. The ruts froze, were a foot high, and it was almost impossible to get out of the rut to turn a corner.

Thd men used picks and shovels to clear the intersections. Jess asked the Council to purchase a snow plow or give him permission to build one. They granted permission for one of his own making. He got owned and driven by Willard a mould board from the county mefit valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are six men oh the force with a college student hired for the summer.

The men Work a 44 hour week. In the '40's the men were allowed a 10 hour day and overtime if necessary. THERE ARE approximately more miles of streets and parking areas in the city limits to be taken care of today than 50 years ago. Jess has loved the variety of work involved and was never bored. Grading, paving, asphalting, cleaning, removing dirt and snow, besides and supervising the new parking areas were all a challenge.

He also designed the Algona Street Department ga rage and shop which was dedi cated to him in 1962. The City Council appointed him Advisor to the Street Department with a salary of $100 a month after accepting his resignation. He will be presented a momento with the signa- of all surviving members of the City Cocuncil and the Mayors under whose jurisdiction he has served. THERE ARE no towns larger or smaller in this vicinity who can boast more well maintained streets especially in the winter. Hats off to a job well done and a rest from the major responsibilities well deserved.

Mr. Lashbrook is an avid fisherman and plans to spend much time at the river and the lakes. Albert Pergande, on the force since 1952, has been appointed Street Commissioner to succeed him. Assistant will be Glen Burtis who also operates the road grader. Richard Frambach will be on the Michigan loader, Albert Wibben and Reiner Helmers driving the trucks and Ray Burris, mechanic.

The City owned two dump wagons and three or four old wheel scrapers plus the Fresno which was a wagon with a wide scraper which slid along the ground. All of these were horse drawn and operated by hand requiring two men on each piece of equipment. All dirt was shoveled by hand. There were five employees at that time.

IN 1929 when Mr. Lashbrook was appointed Street Commissioner, the equipment was the same as when he started work for the department. However, his salary was $104 a month for a ten hour arid, no overtime was allowed. There was no snow removal equipment yet in the winter of 1935-36 when we had the BIG snow and blizzard.

He operated it himself and worked literally night and day to plow out the paving and this kept the ruts down. Mayor Specht decreed that the', graveled streets were just as they were taken care of also. OFTEN AFTER he was off duty there would come a call from a doctor for him to open a road to the home of a sick person. Sometimes he spent 4 or .5 hours to much of the time being spent in digging out the snowplow. In 1937 a Ford truck was purchased and from then on the department was mechanized.
