Temple Gets Nauvoo O.K.
The Nauvoo City Council gave the LDS Church permission to build the
Nauvoo Temple last night in a vote of 5-1. City Hall was filled with
residents, some of whom were concerned with the impact that the building
would have on their city and neighborhood. While no opinions were
offered directly opposing the Temple, third ward councilwoman Joan Kraft
did express the concerns of her constituents that they didn't have
enough information to make sure the costs to the town wouldn't exceed
the benefit, "I wish we could have waited to make a decision," she said.
