Petition for Improvement Delays on East First Street
Council action Monday night stirred talk as efforts to delay or defeat the east First street improvement north of Walnut surfaced. The original petition, filed under the old Republican administration, is lost but a record lists residents and property owners who signed. Several owners on the street refused or were not asked, while others opposed the project. Since the petition and order, new property purchases by Fred Robinson and William McCarty are cited as indicating support. The delay is linked to a separate gravel street petition pending with the commissioner's court, now ready for construction.
