Pomeroy to vote on five year levy for hydrant and lighting
Pomeroy officials advance a five year mill levy to fund unpaid water and electric bills totaling about 27 000 for lights and 20 000 for water. The vote moves from August to November after a meeting with businessmen and coal operators regarding a river dock. The village faces 7200 yearly utility costs and relies on 21 mills, with 0.7 mill for operations, while sales tax is withheld to cover county tuberculosis hospital debt. Mayor M D Hartley warns action or service cuts may be needed.
