City debates Bland street widening and market site changes
City officials heard resident opposition to widening Bland street between Princeton and the federal building with 75 percent frontage objecting to sidewalk removal. Proposals to relocate the street market were discussed amid railroad concerns and a possible new site on McCulloch avenue. The council deferred action while awaiting manager reports and appeals on a Bluefield grocery permit case, and budget talks showed a $28,000 rise for 1924-25 due to higher interest, sinking fund needs, and hydrant rental.
