Improvement Delayed In St Johns Street Plans
Property owners on Dawson street in St Johns delay improvements until Portland Railway Light and Power Company dedicates and improves its right of way for a perpetual franchise.

Despite disputes, St Johns shows robust building activity with 151 permits totaling 169540 in 11 months and planned street and sewer work exceeding 159000 nearing completion.
