Pfeiffer's six years as La Porte mayor leave lasting mark
Jor Ludka notes Barold J Pfeiffer stepped down after six years as La Porte mayor. During his three terms, the city inaugurated its first mail delivery and garbage pickup, widened Main Street and Broadway, installed storm sewers, added a city barn, a new water well, enhanced curb and gutter work, and expanded the municipal airport while keeping taxes steady. The Panama Canal opening in 1914 provides historical context.
