Improvements on Foothill Boulevard Deferred
Monrovia January 6. The council discussed awarding contracts for Foothill Boulevard between Mayflower and Fifth Avenue. Local attorney E B Evans urged uniform light standards and favored Marbelite with three year insurance, while Lelux representatives claimed similar insurance and questioned policy delivery to Monrovia. City figures show large district areas and petitions backing both pavement and Lelux standards, with work not to start before April to avoid winter delays.
