Hyde Park Herald editorial criticizes city and state enforcement of clean air and water laws enacted to curb pollution. It notes steel mills and other plants delaying needed equipment, not complying, and blame shifting while visible smoke and chemical discharges persist. The piece urges firm action and prosecution rather than more threats.
A town editorial jokes about summer on the beach and a leash law push by Alderman Bill Singer. The piece jokes that dogs roam free and suggests owners carry bags to pick up waste. It likens the situation to a movie titled Planet of the Dogs and notes the public concern over keeping streets clean.
Hyde Park residents fear a 24 hour Standard Oil station at 55th and Cornell, despite Urban Renewal backing large service stations on Lake Park. The nearby six apartment building at 5141 Harper Ave would face constant noise and light, especially 11 PM to 5 AM, with night traffic, radios, and racing engines. Renewal should reconsider zoning and the potential impact on more than 100 residents in Carolan and nearby streets.
