City Council Deadlock On Water Pump Purchase
A six six vote stalled the choice of a water pump as the water board and special council committee failed to reach agreement. Mayor Joyner proposed a Holly vertical pump while Alderman Quillan urged a centrifugal model. Councilman Martin abstained due to a family tie to a bidder, then voted to seek new bids, creating the tie that will be decided tomorrow. George F Hurt of Southern Hydraulic Engine Co urged acceptance of his centrifugal pump, repeating prior figures as Colonel Orcas L Anderson argued the expert opinion was not binding.
