Polite Pedestrians And City Names In River Town Notes
A Wisconsin city council discussed pedestrian courtesy after a minor accident on Mathews avenue. The council renamed Walker avenue from 10 feet between Upper Vine and Cherry streets and changed Savage drive to Camden drive. Miss Willie Bowyer received 80 dollars for injuries from a trip over a catch basin cover. City auditorium plans were sent to Rapp and Rapp of Chicago and the PWA regional office for final approval before bids around December 20. Ordinances closed Burke's alley and portions of Stanley avenue and Orchard street on Higginbotham hill. The western high school site remains in the board of education land plots. An extension of Washington street toward Kanawha street was ordered and to be paved with crushed stone.
