Bessemer Common Council 1952 Meeting Highlights
The June 16 1952 Bessemer Common Council session in City Hall saw Mayor Jacobson preside with nine members present. The council approved minutes, authorized payments from General and Water funds, funded street patching with blacktop, and endorsed a loan plan for city wide street repairs with 80 percent for general use and up to 20 percent for US 2. They also planned talks with Gogebic County Road Commission on Moore Street culverts and approved ditch construction east of Clay Berg Street. The lease for Chippewa Drive-In and potential road right-of-way across city property to the Chippewa Drive-In partnership were accepted and discussed.

RFC loan plan eyed for $85 million bridge project
Discussion outlines why the Reconstruction Finance Corporation would lend in stages to fund a new bridge, saving millions in interest versus a private bond issue. The bridge would be toll financed and expected to pay for itself in about 35 years, with traffic projections supporting this outcome. The piece also covers Social Security benefit proposals, a Michigan stand against opposition arguments, and a Lake Superior water level survey noting shoreline erosion and infrastructure damage in the 12th District.
