Duluth and Eveleth Iron Paving Project correspondence
Scope and Contents
This small amount of correspondence relates to the use of iron paving on state highways. The correspondence is primarily between the State of Minnesota Department of Highways and the Interlake Iron Corporation, Chicago Illinois. A test section of iron pavement on Trunk Highway No. 53 south of Eveleth, MN, of four tenths of a mile on the underpass under Duluth, Missabe and Northern railway, was proposed. The exchange of letters deals with this proposal. Persons named in the correspondence include: Harry Vissering, O.L. Kipp, Thomas H. MacDonald, Sheldon B. Shepard, G. G. Gladman, A.E. Palen, E.W. Davis, N.W. Elsberg, county state, and national persons involved within the highway departments and city, state and county governments. It is unclear if the pavement was ever laid.
