06 10 Officers and committees of the Pitterle-Beaudoin Post No. 189, the American Legion today continued with their plans for the coming Fourth of July celebration at Riverside Park which for a time yesterday were threatened when Charles Brasch of the Brasch Bros. Shows announced he was canceling the contract he holds with the Legion for the celebration. Brasch’s statement came after the common council Tuesday night failed to take definite action on the so-called “popcorn” controversy. Mayor Robert P. White, when informed of the Brasch statement, arranged a hurried meeting which was held yesterday afternoon at the city hall in an effort to iron out the difficulties if possible. As a result of the meeting it was announced that the Fourth of July celebration will go on as planned and that the coming Labor Day celebration, under auspices of the Watertown Central Labor Council in September, will also proceed as planned. Brasch Bros. also holds the contract for that celebration.
