City Council Considering Park Bond Issue And Street Improvements
The council referred the Fifth street park bond issue to the street committee and discussed water service for a cannery on Illinois street with a proposed two inch meter. Debate over funding street repairs from the general fund and the handling of delinquent assessments continued. Petitioners sought Hancock Street improvements and East Second Street with railroad frontage assurances. A grade adoption for East Third Street was set for hearing, and Springfield’s bonding practice was reviewed for potential adoption here.
