Petition for repair of Pomeroy parking lot presented
A petition with 85 signatures urged upper lot repairs after a section slid into the Ohio River last Thursday. The proposal, to issue bonds and install meters on both lots to fund the project, prompted discussion on seeking federal aid via the Corps of Engineers and hiring an engineer to study the cause of the slide. Council took no action, but Mayor Spencer and Councilman Goodwin were to seek a capable engineer for consultation.
