Council Post Is Filled As City Plans Grow

Wilson Smith was named to the Fourth Ward council seat vacated by Altert Linscott after disqualifying himself for the November election by changing his residence. Smith, a 1925 Ohio State graduate and longtime McBee Co. shipping head, was unanimously approved. Council also okayed street improvement resolutions, hired Squire, Sanders and Dempsy to assist in issuing bonds for sewer work, and advanced several ordinances including trespass, taxi licensing fees, and a six and a half acre Cable Acres subdivision. The meeting addressed park and alley issues, appointed George Rutkoskie to police pension duties, and reviewed a Firemen’s Relief Pension Fund report. A delay to continue the next meeting was set for 1:30 p.m. Monday.
