Mayor Orders Termination of Boat Lease in Hannibal
Mayor John K. Mills moved to have Hannibal terminate the ten year lease with Streckfus Steam Boat lines on July 22 and remove their river front property within sixty days. The action follows a meeting with City Attorney Lewis O Connor amid fading Streckfus operations. The city seeks a municipally owned boat house to better protect freight handling on the riverfront.

Brothers Meet in Coblenz Aboard War Ties
Mr and Mrs Benton DeLong of 01 Bridge street report a late Christmas surprise when their son Sergeant Albert DeLong now in Welling Germany met his brother Richard LeLong in Coblenz while both served in the American army of occupation. Richard, gassed in June, spent weeks in a French hospital and later joined the 26th division in Germany. Albert, 26, enlisted five years ago and served in Mexico. Richard is 28. A train encounter near their home on January 19 provided a joyful, unplanned reunion witnessed by their mother who had not heard Richard was passing. The elder DeLongs recount a letter from Albert describing winter weather in Germany and a forthcoming army review led by General Pershing. Newman, Albert’s former comrade, is mentioned as a continued link to their wartime service.
