Record Shows City Improvements Under Mayor Straight
A review of two years under Mayor Straight highlights water plant upgrades with two new engines, full city water supply, and improved fire protection. Light plant savings cut coal use, voltage upgrades improve service, and by year end all public buildings gain fire escs. City running costs stayed within receipts with debt reduced and tax expenses cut. Bond issuance lowered old debt, interest from 6% to 4.5%, plus $2,600 repaid. Poll tax and dog license receipts rose. fines and licenses brought in about $700 more than prior two-year periods. The record supports the mayor’s re election bid.
