City Council upholds building code for filling station plan
The city council rejected a plea to build a new filling station and install laterals for drainage on Van Vorhes Street and Mel Wintis Avenue. Officials debated traffic shifts on Routes 31 and 50, with protests from garage owners at Carpenter and North Court Streets prompting a request for route retention. The meeting delayed on assessing board reports due to the absence of the city solicitor. The council also discussed widening Carpenter Street and noted gas-rate disputes heading to higher courts, with a December 17 meeting planned and a December 20 banquet for officials set at Hillcrest Inn.
