Street Improvements and Local Notices in City Council Remit
A Tuesday city council session reported the street and alley committee favoring macadamizing curbing and guttering South Lafayette avenue. The remonstrance had 23 signers from 49 property owners, and attorney M Reynolds spoke for them before unanimous committee approval. A fire near the gas works caused alarm as buckets fought a roof blaze linked to a traction engine spark. Local births and schooling news follow, including Mayer family updates and career moves toward Denver and the Kaner Pickle Co.
