Title: First Overhaul on Brush Creek
Description: The paving of the creek bed began in November 1935, at a cost originally estimated at $1,395,000, and at one time employed 1,647 WPA workers. Concrete was laid eight to 10 inches thick and 70 feet wide. City officials explained at the time that paving the creek bed would prevent accumulation of stagnant pools, which had created a nuisance and would also permit the channel to empty floodwaters into the Blue River an hour or more sooner and prevent backing up. Severe flooding occurred on the creek in 1934 and 1935. Opponents of the T. J. Pendergast political machine then in control of the city affairs criticized the project, however, as a windfall for Pendergast's concrete company [Ready-Mixed Concrete Company].
