Princeton chamber urges South Walker street upgrade plan
A Tuesday chamber meeting without council present backed a three way split for improving South Walker Street from the city limits to the courthouse. One third by property owners, one third by the traction company, and one third by the city with possible condemnation to obtain the right of way. The group pushed a 55 foot street, noted the Bluefield highway entry, and discussed sewer and gas issues along with seeking state maintenance for the paved segment. A committee was named to coordinate with the board of education and to pursue a baseball diamond on the district athletic field end of South Walker Street.
