"Surveys committee meets: Action taken on ordinances vacating and locating streets." Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, Sept. 10, 1897, p. 3. Newspapers.com 85570245.
At a meeting of the surveys committee of Pittsburgh councils yesterday afternoon action was postponed on an ordinance vacating Iron alley from Second avenue to Greenough street (now First avenue) because $100 had not been paid to the city according to an ordinance requiring private parties benefited by the exaction of a measure to pay that amount to cover the expense of advertising. This objection was raised by George H. Stengel.
The committe [sic] approved the dedications of Fifty-fifth street by C. A. Cooper and the Dollar Savings bank and N. Hartman's plan of lots in the Twenty-first ward. An ordinance repealing an ordinance repealing the location of Vista street between Coral and Margaretta street was negatived. An ordinance locating Beatty street from Center avenue to Beatty street as located north of Baum street was affirmatively recommended to councils.
