Waverly Democrat, November 17, 1961. Mrs. Martha Brandt (left) accepted a check from Mrs. Martha Vette for 1/2 payment for 1001 cubic feet of concrete. The $16,270 bill was the cost for a curb and gutter project in 1961. Prior to the 1960s, Waverly's side streets simply blended into the lawns with gutters dripping down at the corners of the block. A major program to put in curb and gutters took several years.
