City Council Expands Night Police Detail With New Appointee
After a routine meeting the council decided to add another man to the night police detail. Harry E. Eastridge, formerly a B and O Southwestern engineer, was chosen and will join Sgt. Wil Wikoff and Officers Capehart and Williams. The agenda included claims, April reports, and a plan to open and widen east Fifth Street to Center Street with a 60 foot right of way. A June 12 hearing date was set for remonstrances and the engineer was directed to establish a grade along Lincoln and Sixth streets toward the E and J railroad.
