Mayor Seeks Backing for Street Repair Levy
Mayor Kenneth W. Sands appeals to local clubs churches and organizations to back a two year street repair levy of 20 cents per $100 valuation. The renewal would fund resurfacing widening and maintenance with a projected 1959 city share of 5200 toward Lancaster Street resurfacing and would enable borrowing for this year with collection in 1960 and 1961.
