Towns Fight Permissions and Patches in 1973 Street Work
Ten area mayors surveyed by the Journal-World say 1973 brought progress and challenges as towns tackled street resurfacing water and sewer projects. Eudora paved 22 blocks spending about 200000 while upgrading billing and a civil defense siren. Tonganoxie studied water wells and completed a 500000 gallon tank as it plans more paving and light upgrades. DeSoto shifted to county police, pursued sewer and water improvements, and received 68 acres of federal land for a nature park. Baldwin cut street lights to save energy and pursued water projects amid rising rates.
