City Council Cuts Police Judge Pay and Talks Fire Dept Raise
At a Wednesday meeting the Aberdeen council reduced the police judge salary from 100 to 75 dollars monthly and considered a 10 dollar raise for the auto expert and assistant fire chief. The fire committee ordinance to hire and fire fire department members was sent back for mayoral-council prerogative clarity. A property improvement petition filing rule was adopted and other road, alley, sewer, and water system measures were discussed along with street paving and library board confirmation. A water supply survey plan from the Wyncodhe river was debated with engineers to begin preliminary line work.
