Description
According to the Clovis Independent, the Civil Works Administration (CWA) provided funds to Fresno County in 1934, from which the “City of Clovis will have Sixth Street graded from Fulton to Polasky to drain Fulton Street, enlargement and raising of levee on drainage ditch on Ninth Street with a new culvert installed on the same ditch. These projects will cost about $800.” CWA funding was used almost entirely to hire unemployed workers in the winter of 1933-34.
The name of 6th St has been changed to Bullard Avenue. This investigator didn’t see any sign of the ditch.
