North Yakima council approves sidewalk and water franchise actions
The North Yakima city council in regular session granted a $50 allowance to the North Yakima brass band for policing the carnival, formed an assessment district for a sidewalk on Naches avenue, renewed saloon licenses, and rejected remonstrances against a cement sidewalk on south Naches avenue. The major action was final passage of ordinances extending Yakima Water Light and Power Co franchises for 37 years with amendments including lower rates and a $3000 water filter, plus street-licensing debates and a mayoral entertainment committee for visiting fairgoers. The evening closed with debates over patent medicine peddlers and plans for actor Frederick Warde’s visit with Louis James.
