Depot Move Heads City Council Meeting
City Council met Monday afternoon in the council chamber and advanced the Union depot issue by referring it to the railroad committee with power to act. The committee will contact railroad authorities to pursue securing the new depot. A national board of five underwriters from New York sent a favorable communication with recommendations for department improvements, which the clerk was ordered to implement. The street condition was reported good, light rents were withheld pending prior orders, and Mayor and Aldermen O Farrell and Talmadge were named to study returns of personal property as an equalizing board. Clayton street assessment was cut from four to three thousand dollars. The Electric Street Railway Company’s tax exemption was granted for one year, with a future similar action suggested. Sexton W A England received police powers at the cemetery without salary. The Council adjourned after paying bills and receiving reports.
