Council Delays Action on Purchase of Truck
Middleport council opened bids from three car agencies for a two ton truck with or without a dump bed but took no action. Dealers named Preston Motors Rawlings & Sons and Pomeroy Motor Co. will be asked to bids again, possibly Friday night, at a special meeting to set up vacation pay and sick leave for village officers. The clerk was authorized to contact the Ohio Water Pollution Board for an extension to permit Middleport to dump raw sewage into the Ohio River. Talks continue with Pomeroy on a joint sewage disposal plant and an early joint meeting is planned ahead of a March 15 deadline with an April 15 target date.
