The Albion City Council, in a three to two vote with Alderman Hodson absent, voted to advertise for bids to pave over the brick street with asphalt on Elm Street from Fifth to Seventh street. The bids would include a new curb and gutter. Alderman Quinton Spear made the motion, and the motion received a second from Levi Fenton. There was also some discussion about possibly redoing a portion of Elm Street, from Fifth to sixth street with the existing brick, however, no motion was ever made.
