Roswell Council Debates Street Names and Carnival License
Eight councilmen met with Mayor Hinkle presiding to consider changing Spanish origin street names to American ones led by Councilman Brooks. The motion failed to reach two thirds and was postponed. Carnival representative J J Davis offered to share 10 percent of gross receipts and 25 percent of concessions if the license was waived, but the council kept the standard $25 daily fee after a tie vote. A dog pound proposal was discussed but postponed, while a proposed free franchise for Roswell Rural Telephone Co. was rejected as unnecessary with two phone systems in town. Services at local churches noted for Sunday.
