The meeting approved bids for a $3200 air compressor and a $1899 automobile, while road and erosion concerns were noted along Orchard Hill. Bond issues for civic improvements moved to the ballot, including $10,000 for traffic lights and $80,000 to widen First Avenue with a parking lot. Fire Chief Harvey Brown sought a $5 per week raise, citing 24‑hour duty and housing provided.
