Local man reports obstructed view at busy North Center intersection
Police logged a string of city incidents from vandalism at North Center Street and Columbus Avenue to larcenies, crashes, and minor injuries. A tree limb problem prompted city engineer action while gas meters at Quick Clean Coin Laundry suffered repeated vandalism totaling about $50. A missing husband case, a near-miss with a child, a reckless driving citation for Ralph W. Silvis, and a hospital admission after a beam fell on a resident’s arm were reported. A girl injured riding a bicycle, two horse falls, a dog stray, a two-car crash near Youngsville, a racing pigeon found at Corry Concrete, and a break-in at Corry Country Club complete the day’s record.

Layoffs have already begun near the steelmaking center as workers are idled.
