Wall repair looms for upper parking lot, council told
Mayor Sidney A. Spencer reported that about 150 feet of the upper parking lot wall must be rebuilt to restore the area. Huntington engineer J. H. Guthrie said current estimates run $150 to $200 per lineal foot, with federal flood wall funds uncertain. A plan to seek congressional aid via Rep. Thomas A. Jenkins was discussed, otherwise a special assessment may fund the project. Attending were Spencer, Guthrie, Crow, and several council members.
