Keep Peddlers Out Merchants Press Council Action
Action on paving Twenty second street deferred at the city council meeting amid questions of who must pay if petitions for improvement are not signed by all property owners. City attorney Thompson Win said two thirds of owners could bind the rest when the city pays half the cost, stalling paving until a legal point is settled. Petitions for adjacent streets were refused. A merchants protest against peddler activity during Frontier Days and consumer costs from garbage hauling were noted. Additional license refunds were ordered for a business that closed.
