Denied East Park Avenue Tabernacle Plan Sparks Revival Standoff
The ministerial association was refused a permit to erect a frame tabernacle on East Park Avenue between LaFayette and Sycamore streets for a three week revival. City officials cited fire limits and firemen access as reasons, with the group considering W. C. F. N. Water Co. corner property as an alternative. A fire escape and safety upgrades were approved for Y M C A, and the waterway at Sans Souci Park was ordered reopened by the council after years of closure. The W. C. F. N. railway officials were asked to meet obligations to operate trains per franchise and to address hourly service along the Independence avenue loop.
