City Council Sets Measures After Hurricane Debris
The council directed the city to halt burning of tree limbs at the dump amid resident complaints of smoke. A bulldozer was moved to the dump to stop smouldering debris. Police will issue tickets to commercial haulers letting refuse fall from vehicles enroute to the dump. The body also named H. C Ball to the Baytown Advisory Board and reappointed Harry Massey and K. M. Dismang. A plumbing license ordinance was discussed but not decided. Repairs to a damaged tire truck were approved with bid deductions, and officials will seek county help on fire-department out-of-city calls. The city attorney was asked to secure non-sue agreements from dispatchers over out-of-city fires.
