Electric Road Extension Delayed to 1904 Start
At the next city council meeting the electric railroad extension to January 1, 1904 will be requested. Builders say the line cannot meet the July 1 target and aim to complete the project before year end. Material delays at the power house and franchise extensions are noted, while the Creston section runs on a regular schedule. The Cleveland and Southwestern takeover halved the debt on the Cleveland to Wooster line, reducing bonds to about half a million.

Wooster Tannery Nuisance Reimagined as Library Site
A letter to The Republican urges replacing Wooster’s North Buckeye tannery with a grand library on the old opera house site. The writer argues the tannery is a persistent odor nuisance and that moving the library a block east would beautify a central area, serve more residents, and elevate civilization. The piece cites population distribution around Market Street and questions locating the library on Walnut Street near the county jail.
