City Council forms four park and street resolutions
Washington city council met Monday adopting four declaratory resolutions for opening two streets through the old fair grounds and laying sidewalks on Southside areas. It also approved curb and gutter work on several east streets, and authorized a ten inch sewer tile project of 407 feet. A park site purchase proposal by the Washington Commercial Club was defeated five to two amid financial concerns. Remonstrances on the openings will be heard June 8. Messages note tree trimming urged by the sanitary officer.
