Dolton approves plan revamp for sewer system project
Dolton board decides to revamp the proposed 485000 sewer system plans to avoid lengthy condemnation lawsuits. County Court rejection triggers new proceedings as engineers redraw plans to speed development amid pressure from local real estate interests. Charles Rose, 57, of Dolton and Ridge, died February 14, 1927, after long illness. Funeral held at Bachman’s chapel and Immanuel church with interment at Oakland cemetery. Rose was a longtime Dolton resident and Woodmen Camp member.
