Riverside Fire and Police Busy in Early September
A sequence of incidents in River Forest on Labor Day weekend kept firemen and police active. A blaze at a Harlem Avenue duplex caused about 940 dollars in damage, with smoke largely damaging the first floor. An Oak Park hospital treated several injuries from a three-vehicle crash at Augusta and Lathrop. False alarms and minor collisions filled the day, while a bowling tournament and unofficial pool contest added local sports activity at the fire house.
