Town Boards Plans for Ball Park Expansion and Gas System Stance
The Town Board of Trustees discussed expanding the ball park with adjoining land to form an amusement park for county fairs and athletic events. They would acquire blocks 114, 119 and 120 if affordable, and allow organizations to join in improvement plans. The board ordered strict curfew enforcement after Jan 1 and set values on reverted sewer lots. Petroleum Gas Co proposed municipal gas via liquid gas, but the clerk was told the town does not plan to establish such a system.
