Between 50 and 60 of the unemployed men of Cadillac have been given work in the city snow removal crews this week, according to George Johnston, city manager. Not that many have worked all week, however, as the city manager shared the work instead of having a smaller permanent crew. Quite a number of streets had to be shoveled out, the snow being too deep and heavy for the plows. Today a crew was working on Paluster Street. Every state road is now open and widened out so that traffic is safe, A.L. Burridge, division engineer, said today. The pavement south from Fife Lake is practically bare. State crews are now floating the gravel roads. The county crew encountered considerable trouble on the Meauwataka Road but have now passed the worst place and expects to have it all open some time this afternoon. The other double-header outfit was working on old U.S. 131 and it was expected this would be open tonight.
CADILLAC â John and Jennifer Newcomb were in Cadillac running errands Wednesday evening when they received a call from a family member who told them their barn was burning down.
The barn, located on 34 1/2 Road near the Wexford County Airport in Haring Township, was used by John as a workshop and to store materials for his shed-making business, John Newcomb Restoration.
Smoke from the fire was visible from miles away and was especially heavy over 13th Street to the south.
By the time the Newcombs arrived, the barn was fully engulfed. Fire crews arrived on scene and immediately took steps to contain the blaze as best as possible, although frequent wind gusts compelled Jennifer to say a few prayers the fire wouldn t spread to nearby buildings.
