City council approves land sale for packing plant and Sinclair site
The Waterloo council last night approved selling a 15 foot strip of ground off Ehin street to Rath Packing Co for an expanded ice plant, extending 107 feet to the river. Sinclair Oil Co plans a warehouse and oil tanks on Illinois Central land near Vine, with a special building permit to bypass some bidding rules. Assessments on Kimball Avenue remained unchanged after disputes with three property owners. Fraternal groups secured an amended public dance ordinance allowing weekly dances without full police licensing.
