Logan city council debated a petition from street department workers asking for higher hourly pay. Most officials favored increases if finances allow without harming future operations, noting potential gas tax declines due to rationing. A joint meeting of finance committee, Mayor Weltner, Service Director Loomis, and City Auditor Chase was set to determine feasibility. The council also waived ownership of a Worthington Park cannon to the Federal government, with Fort Hayes officials implying replacement by a modern piece.
