100 Years Ago June 8, 1922 Drastic action on the part of the city against those who dig for coal within the city limits without permission, was urged by Commissioner W. C. Wilson at the regular meeting yesterday. The subject was brought up when Commissioner Bert Mead mentioned that there was a cave-in a few days ago on East Washington street which the city was compelled to repair. Mayor O. T. Jones said that undermining was done probably 25 or 30 years ago.
