Toboggan Slide Ready Tomorrow
January 18, 1932
According to City Engineer, Riddell, work on Susanville’s toboggan slide, extending from the north of Pine Street near the Ralph Allen home to Roop street at the Model Laundry, is nearing completion and is expected to be ready for the use of the public tomorrow.
Susanville’s charity workers have been kept busy this week, filling in low spots and ditches, clearing ground and packing snow into the slide. Enough snow is packed in at the present to last about two weeks.
The street lighting system has been extended to afford lighting of the slide at night with spotlights.
The ski slide and sleighing hill, also being built will not be finished by tomorrow, according to Riddell but is expected to be in readiness by the first of the week.
A large crowd is expected to be present at the opening of the slide tomorrow.
