Just 30 Years AGO

Saturday marked the 30th
anniversary of one of the great
est disasters in aircraft history,
the crashing of the giant

Today a monument stands in

tions of Bridge street. 1t was
pointed out that the vehicles
were left there overnight and
created a traffic hazard on the
narrow street. Mayor Johnson
read an ordinance which stated
that II hour parking was in
effect thru-out the village and
that overnight parking was
prohibited.
The local fire department was
represented in the fore-part of
the meeting and they requested
that the council reimburse them
for three sets of directional
lights to be installed on the
three fire units. The cost of the
lights would amount to $500,
which the council approved. All
members present voted recogni-
ton for c. D. Elliot to replace
Walter Stats on the fire depart
ment. Stats recently left the
village and moved to Canton.
