New Boulevard Progress Delayed by Street Widening Plan
County Superintendent L L Boyer urged the city council to share half the cost of widening Harrison Street from Twelfth to Twenty fourth streets and to fund half the building of a new Curtis Creek bridge at Front and Harrison Streets. Melrose township officials pledged to cover the remaining halves if the city contributed. The move would complete the city's boulevard system and require city grading and a small land purchase. A special committee of Aldermen Owen, Ross, and O'Brien was named to negotiate with township commissioners while routine monthly department reports and several claims were reviewed.
