Woman objects to town widening Center street
Mrs. Clara Caspryzk 44 resisted the village of Silver Lake Minnesota as it moved to widen Center street. The council refused to relocate the five room house and pay her $800 and a court order was ignored. A carpenters crew cut the building in half leaving one bedroom. Mrs. Caspryzk, disabled by arthritis, returned to live in the remaining room after a brief stay with her brother in law. The piece also notes calls to reconsider Potsdam pledges and U S occupation policy in Germany amid postwar unrest and food concerns.
