Avondale Depot Name Dispute and Local Approvals
Erie Railroad again rejects renaming the Avondale depot as requested by the Board and residents. Ciccone’s transfer of a license for 144 Chestnut Street to 149 Chestnut Street was denied. Mayor Blum’s transfer motion failed to gain a second. Commissioner Carr argued the new site lacked proper facilities. Bids for Park and Myrtles sewer work were deemed incomplete and referred for investigation with an October 4 report. Taxation at $1.87 was approved. A complaint about an exposed water cap led to referral to the town attorney. A chanceman faces charges from Rosario Vocatore. Cement sidewalk and street petitions were granted or advanced.
