Petition To Vacate Pearl Street Sparks Town Board Debate
At a regular town board meeting the Directors of the First National Bank presented a petition to vacate 30 feet on the south side of Pearl street east of Main and north of John Kraus’s lot. The plan includes a 40x40 bank building with 10 feet off Kraus’s north lot for $800, signed by abutting owners, but the motion to table the petition was approved to allow further consideration. The editor notes potential street-opening implications and suggests delaying final action to balance property values and town needs. Local residents and visitors are listed as returning or visiting, including Edward Kramer and wife, Mrs. George H. Goyert, Walter Borkes, Mrs. George Bessler, and Louis Huber families.
