Pay Held Up Over Wildwood Curb and Sidewalk Defects
City commissioners refused to pay Contractor G. A. Cooney of Springfield for curb and sidewalk work in Wildwood subdivision until defective sections are replaced.

The session also discussed weeds, traffic at several intersections, and authorized 87,000 in notes for Gidean Road improvements.
