Although the City has not had a very positive relationship with Outer Battery in the last couple of years, the vibes apparently go back much longer than that. Elaine Wychreschuk found this document in the archives where residents petitioned the Nfld government to be removed from the City's jurisdiction because "Council does not do anything for us." It must date from before 1949, and perhaps the 1920s. Signed by about 60 people. Anyone remember anything about this?
love to know the names on the petition. great article.
