City council urged to fund Olive street crossing light
The News proposes joining ten or more parties to cover maintenance costs if the city installs a lighting system at the Olive street crossing of the Rock Island railroad. The crossing is deemed extremely dangerous and Atlantic merchants rely on safe access. The council’s procrastination prompts private funding to guarantee safe ingress and egress. A separate note reports William Boyd Allison’s Iowa senate nomination petitions surpassing 4,000 signatures, filed by C. A. Finkbine and ex-Gov. F. D. Jackson, with petitions from nearly all ninety-nine counties. The Harlan American cites Cummins allegedly pledging support if Allison leads by one vote, a point questioned as lacking merit.
