Air Objections To Paving Plan
Marion council heard objections and some favorable comments on the proposed 1973 paving project No. 2. A large delegation opposed paving South Eighth street from Hillview to Krumholtz drives, citing safety concerns near Mentzer school. Residents objected to paving other streets for various reasons while some supported paving Eleventh avenue and Third to Fifth avenues. A petition urged paving Thirty-first Street for dust relief. Separately, Robert Sion questioned police raises and city salary changes from 1972.
