Skyway to Get Extra 13 Million for Completion
Finance committee recommends additional 13 million appropriation to finish the Calumet Skyway without a referendum. Council opposition from leading Republicans and an inquiry by Alderman Einar Johnson focus on why the 88 million budget is exhausted and the fate of a 5.5 million contingency. Mayor Daley reportedly supports the extra funds to finish early in 1958. DeLeuw, Cather & Co. engineers explain higher costs mainly from steel.

Residents Oppose Paving on E 85th and Surrounding Streets
About 125 residents petitioned the city council to cancel planned paving projects on E 85th st from South Park to St Lawrence, S Lawrence from BE 83rd to 87th, and S Vernon and Rhodes between E 85th and 86th. They secured a one year extension, citing costs of about 180000 and assessments around 1000 per property, while noting the streets have lasted decades without paving and that speed and danger would worsen with cement surfacing. Organized efforts led by Gerald J. Sullivan and residents on St Lawrence, Vernon, Rhodes, and Champlain avenues include pensioners, widows, and large families who cannot afford the price.
