City to Repair Streets If Corporations Fail to Fix Holes
Mayor Zimmerman told representatives of public service companies in a Board of Works meeting that if damaged streets are not repaired within ten days the city will undertake the work and bill the firms. Gas, water, light, heat, power, and traction firms promised action, but blame for remaining potholes will be resolved by owners’ testimony or company accountability under existing franchises. The board seeks prompt trench repairs and clarifies responsibility for shared digs.
