Local Charter Draft Moves Toward Lansing Approval
The city attorney expects to mail the proposed Bessemer charter draft to Lansing for Governor Groesbeck's signature, with Senator Truettner handling delivery and return for filing with the city clerk within ninety days. The charter will be published, copies printed, and a special election set later. Council met briefly, addressing fire insurance, contracts with the city, tax refunds for widows, and funds for old orders. A plan to dismantle the Washington school building for a new city hall was authorized, and a $25.09 steno bill for drafting the charter was approved.
