City Council debated streets and sidewalks plan
The council discussed sewer, sidewalk, and tree issues, proposing granitoid sidewalks, cinder foundations, and a temporary access path on Oakwood Avenue. They considered curfew for youths, road maintenance with a King Road Drag, and pole and tree safety ahead of electric wires. Pedestrian routes, bids for sidewalk construction, and Memorial Day fundraising were debated, with committees appointed and actions deferred as needed.
