Dry Creek work in Edna is
set to begin with the naming of
Miller Ruthledge Construction
Co. of Edna as the General
Contractor.
City Council received four
initial bids and awarded the
contract to Rutledge not only

also because they felt very
confident that his equipment
and operators would be very
suitably adapted to the work.
