Pavement Controversy Over West Hill Contract
Citizens along West Hill between Third and Fourth streets allege Fuller brothers failed to follow the paving law. They claim no grade, no steam roller, and brick beds of three inches rather than six. A petition to the council seeks an investigation and possible relaying of pavement. Fifth Street paving is finished except the last block, while Sixth Street progresses slowly with grading and utility work amid favorable weather and minor curbing damage. The streetcar line was disrupted but later restored.
