City council adjourns with absent members and a stalled public works board
An adjourned St Johns city council meeting saw five present while Councilman Thompson was absent and Brice left for a school board meeting. Debate centered on a controversial board of public works ordinance granting broad power over utilities and franchises, which was sidetracked amid strong opposition and concerns of hidden terms. The sewer plans by City Engineer Goodrich, business and residence numbering proposals, and other items were discussed, then adjourned with remaining details approved.

Jersey street to gain trees amid vacant sidewalk lots
Vacant sidewalk spots along Jersey street may be seeded with grass and planted with trees or flowering shrubs to create a park like appearance. Property owners are urged to invest labor now for long term street beautification and potential property value gains. A city sewer project is proposed with cost shared by square feet, and several local residents move to Dallas with plans including a new mill to employ many workers.
