St Johns City Council Tackles Leonard Street Improvement
The council opened with a petition to macadamize Leonard Street Chicago to New York and lay eight foot cement sidewalks urging the engineer to prepare plans. A fire department request for street privileges to hold a major Fourth of July celebration won approval, with full control sought over the event. A protest against a proposed bell tower cited an old well beneath the site, dangerous in high winds, and threats of court action if the project proceeded. The body faced distrust after contract let, plus concerns over excessive telephone rates and service plans in the city.
