General Overhaul For City's Streets Planned
City Council reviews a broad street overhaul with Morris Boggess of Boggess Construction to estimate costs. Mayor Peterson aims to surface Olive Street and repair a hole near the railroad tracks while forming a City Board of Health to probe meat rotting reports at the former Graettinger Locker Plant. A new parking lot for Bethel Lutheran Church is approved and a four inch water main from Jackson Street west on Spies Avenue is discussed for future growth. City Employee Jim Laabs notes the lawn mower is failing and a combined riding mower and snowblower will be considered later.
