Fort Wayne river junction plan by George Kessler unveiled
The Sentinel publishes the first public outline by landscape architect George E. Kessler for a Three Rivers Park plan at the confluence of the St. Marys and St. Joseph rivers near the Columbia Avenue bridge. The design adds a dam to raise water, creates a larger artificial lake with a beach landing, extends a boulevard along the St. Joseph and Maumee rivers, and envisions parkways, graded avenues, and enhanced river views as part of a broader Fort Wayne beautification effort under the Fort Wayne Civic Improvement Association.

Pedery Wins in Superior Court Remonstrance Invalidated
Judge Carl Yaple ruled the remonstrance against Joe Pederys license renewal was invalid and sent the case back to the commissioners court where renewal was granted. He noted a remonstrance must be filed five days before the hearing date and that without a valid remonstrance the application could not be denied. Pedery had been cited for minor illicit liquor during which parents claimed consent but the law prohibits minors buying intoxicants even with parental consent.
