Pomeroy and Middleport Councils Discuss Finances and Street Lights

The mayor said lights may return only with new revenue sources, while a Civic Club committee was urged to study the issue. Taxi parking, meters, and street conditions were also discussed, with plans to meet drivers and inspect a fenced North Street area and Main Street sidewalk damage.
