      New Victory

      On Saturday, July 31, the opening of the railway workers' stadium at the Nizhny Novgorod station of the Moscow-Kazan railway took place, funded by the "Spartak" club. Two years of tireless work by workers and physical education enthusiasts — and here it is, a large, good sports stadium over the marshy area. Now, a worker, coming home from work, can freely go to the stadium and strengthen his health.

      New Pharmacies

      In August, a pharmacy will be opened in the city on B. Pecherka, near Sennaya Square, as the residents of the New Construction, the outskirts, and all nearby areas always need it. The repair of the premises has already been completed.

      Autumn-Winter Resorts

      The regional insurance fund has submitted a request to the Main Social Insurance for 142 places at resorts on the southern coast of Crimea and Kislovodsk. The distribution of places will be carried out in accordance with the prevailing diseases in the province.

      Downpour

      On August 5 in Nizhny, the rain that had been intermittent throughout the day turned into a heavy downpour around 8 PM. Raging streams of water rushed through the streets of the city. The water flowed particularly heavily from Zvezdinka along Alexeyevskaya Street. Soon the entire street near the Black Pond was flooded. In search of an outlet, the water rushed through the earthen embankments that blocked access to the construction site of the city committee's house. Despite the fact that an unfinished collector and sewage pipes were opened, the water flooded the basement of the new building to a height of more than 2 meters within half an hour... The city fire brigade was urgently called, and they worked to pump out the water until 4 AM on August 7.

      Chronicle of the Fair

      Yesterday, a meeting was held at the Fair Committee to address a number of practical issues related to the sale of goods imported from Eastern countries at the fair. Representatives of the People's Commissariat of Trade, the Russian-Eastern Chamber of Commerce, and credit institutions participated in the meeting. The measures approved by the meeting are expected to significantly invigorate the fair turnover with goods from Eastern countries in the coming days. Users can familiarize themselves with the archives of the newspaper "Nizhny Novgorod Commune" at the address: N. Novgorod, Studencheskaya St., 15.
