Summary

The October 1987 Beaver Beacon prints St. James Township minutes from July 1, August 5, September 2, and September 16. The reports cover zoning, sidewalks and roads, harbor water quality, grants, wells, playground land, dust control, loons and wetlands, airport committee succession, and payment for the rescue boat.

Evidence limits

These are newspaper minutes, not the complete township financial, engineering, zoning, water, well, grant, airport, or legal records.
