Road Construction, 1930

During the Great Depression, Vaughan Council managed to secure various large-scale make-work projects from the federal government. One such project was the building of #7 Highway in 1930 and 1931 which provided much needed work as well as an excellent transportation route. The above photograph depicts a steam shovel working on #7 Highway.
