Hagen Prepares
To Erect Building
Early Next Spring
All of the hustle and bustle of
heavy equipment working in the
Valley Theatre area for the past
week won’t bring any apparent
and visible results for some
months to come, owner A1 Hagen
said today. The net result for the
present is to be two concrete re
taining walls around the open
sides of the rectangle in the Thea
tre area.
However, the entire lot is being
brushed off and prepared for con
struction, scheduled for the early
spring months of 1951. Mr. Hagen
said present plans still were ex
tremely nebulous, but he expects
to put up a building of reinforced
Concrete and building blocks,
