It calls for a thorough, comprehensive improvement plan to be formulated and publicly heard before any funds or dock space reductions are approved, ensuring water front facilities are enhanced rather than restricted. The board also backs unemployment relief measures and reviews school site protests.

Old shot kills chief of Delaware Indians
Richard C Adams hereditary chief of the Delaware Indians died at the Ebbitt hotel in Washington. He was 67 and had lived in Dewey and Bartlesville Oklahoma before coming to represent the tribe 23 years ago. His death followed a gunshot wound from clashes with territorial desperadoes 38 years earlier. The bullet lodged in his lung and discharged through his mouth last November after years of illness. Adams, a prominent Indian representative, helped push Delaware claims through Congress and left several bills pending. He was survived by his wife Carrie Meges Adams, daughter Carrie, son Richard, and sister Mrs F J Poudinot. Funeral plans await arrival of his son Leo D Adams from Wann Oklahoma.
