Snow falls amid muted city turmoil
A fragmented report describes snowfall disrupting daily life with limited readable details about affected streets and responses from authorities. The text mentions closures and calls for caution, highlighting winter weather's impact on transportation and routines.
City Grants Special Power Rate For Harbor Boat Heaters
The city council approved a special power rate for harbor boats using electric heaters in winter. The rate starts at 10 cents per KWH for the first 50 KWH then drops to 1.5 cents for each additional KWH, aiming to ease domestic power use and test system capacity. The plan mirrors the town’s basic rate structure and seeks to prevent boat users from gaining an advantage over homes. City officials also note plans to extend such reductions to domestic hot water use and to study distribution impact. In other business, the council awarded a $160 bid for a city deep freezer to Ragnar Stokke and reviewed condemnation proceedings and a local tree-lighting project at the hospital. The next meeting is January 6.
