Mayor Moves Meeting Place for City Nominations
Mayor Watts has arranged to use a building west of the Point office for a mass meeting next Friday at 7:30 PM to nominate city officials for the coming year. Interest in the election appears high with rumors of a strong political contest and discussion of Sunday closing returning to the ballot. The 179 to 104 defeat of last election’s Sunday closing amendment is noted, and petitions for nominations have not drawn wide support, suggesting the mass meeting may decide city official preference.
