City Council Advances Airport Drainage and Utilities Project
The city council directed the street commissioner to begin drainage pipe work at the airport and to pursue state funds for runway extensions after a denial of contracting at high cost. Mayor Ridenour and officials will seek estimates from the state board as Brush Creek pollution prompts action. Metropolitan lines and copper wire plans discussed for city telephone service, with council threatening Public Service Commission action if service does not improve within ninety days. Building permits issued. July 1 hearing set for Parris Mosrie sewer complaint on North Walker Street.
