La Porte Commission Delays Major Items In Brief Session
La Porte city commission handled only minor matters in a brief meeting on Friday. They approved free dumping of Clear Lake Park garbage in exchange for considerations, arranged county help to install culverts on Spencer highway, and planned a two sided Labor Shack on Park Street for labor access. A weed cutter was eyed at 365 dollars and price checks were ordered. They deferred a request to move the San Jacinto Ordinance depot and asked John Wright to remove fences that cross streets in Sylvan Beach as streets will be cut and opened.
