City Vacates Long-Disputed Alley Near Main Street
The City Commission voted unanimously to vacate a 768 foot alley between Main and Commerce, a move opposed by three property owners who argued loss of rear access hurt business. Wayne Kirch fought the vacation after fencing the strip in 1949 claiming it never carried vehicular traffic. Deputy City Atty. Ozilvie had ordered removal of the fence, which remains, and the Planning Commission had suggested keeping the right of way as a utility easement. Reed Whipple recused his vote due to First National Bank interests in vacating the alley.
