Adjustment May Unravel Tangle Over River Front Plans
The Leavitt and Johnson National Bank Building company filed against the River Front improvement commission amid disputes over meandered riverfront lines. J W Arbuckle said property owners had signed a stipulation except Mrs W Friedl, enabling a straightened line to aid Memorial hall access and river beautification. If the bank building company did not sign, improvements might halt, though efforts for adjustment were hoped. J J Sedgewick, president of the building company, said the injunction arose as improvements interfered with reaching the bank rear and cows were used in filling earlier.
