Title	Albert Rule (37th mayor of Appleton: 1926-1929)
Description	Controversy over building a viaduct on East Wisconsin was settled. The cost was shared with the Chicago Northwestern Railway. The Rio Theater was built. A park improvement system was started with a $50,000 bond issue to improve Pierce Park. More than 30,000 feet of sewer pipe was layed. Many streets were paved, including S. Mason, E. College, and Jackman Street Hill. Street lights were put on Cherry St. (now Memorial Drive). Based on the City Plan Commission's recommendation, Wisconsin Avenue was not included in the City's business district. An ordinance was passed requiring all milk sold in the city to have a bacteria count of not more than 100,000 cubic centimeter. Contract was entered with Whiting Airport, which included air mail. He vetoed the proposed City garbage collection plan. The Post-Crescent began an expansion program which included a new, high speed printing press. He defeated John Goodland by 151 votes in 1926 and then won re-election in 1928, defeating Hawes. The stockmarket crash in 1929 had a tremendous effect on Appleton business.
