Front Foot Assessment Plan Draws Citywide Support
About 200 business leaders gathered in Turner Hall to hear Mayor Brown explain the front foot assessment plan for street paving and a looming referendum next Monday. Debate touched on bond totals, with Frank C. Davis arguing the plan could raise more than 6 million dollars, and Alderman Warren and others stressing fair sharing of costs and city beautification. Brown asserted the plan distributes costs to benefitting property owners and outlined installment terms over five years, while noting annual paving funds would stay at about 500 thousand dollars.
