Description: |
Workmen waiting to begin digging new sewer lines in Corydon, Indiana, listen to an address by Seeley Williams, Sr. of Indianapolis, and Lew M. O'Bannon, chairman of the sewer committee of the Corydon Chamber of Commerce. The majority of the men are dressed in overalls and wear hats, and many hold shovels, axes or picks. A large collection of shovels lays on the ground next to the group. The massive undertaking was funded through the federal government's Works Progress Administration and the sale of local bonds. |
