City Wins Battle Over Widow's Home Fire Station Move
A Houston city action ends with 74 year old widow Louie Taranto forced from her home after a three day defiance of a court order. A wrecking crew cleared a ramshackle house to build a new fire station on Scott Street as Constable Walter Rankin cited anger at being placed in the middle. Taranto received 48777 dollars for her home but relocation funds could not be used until she vacated. Tom Daigle was arrested to prevent a riot as neighbors backed Taranto and the move proceeded.
