Captain Kidd Reimagined as Pirate Myth in Public Opinion
A fragmentary editorial criticizes the glorification of Captain Kidd by the American public. It questions the authenticity of Dutch authority and doubtfully defends Kidd, noting the era from 1687 to 1807 as propaganda that tarnishes the real reputations of those who pursued treasure. The piece suggests enduring public fascination despite uncertain truth.

Plaza Plan Revision Aims Two Parks And Street Widening
City Engineer D D Harrigan proposes revising the Weatrott Plaza project to create two parks instead of one. The plan includes widening several converging streets and routing Seledad Street to Cathilen, moving the fire station to gain land for a plaza and improve traffic flow. The revision avoids a large parking need, and the proposal will be shown to property owners near the plaza before final action.
