City Fathers Pick Kell As Manager For Municipal Parking Building
City board authorized City Manager E P Mitchell to oversee the parking building as a separate department starting July 1 and hire a manager. William L Kell was recommended by the board for the job among seven applicants. Two coal selling ordinances were adopted to prevent short weight and enforce weighed sales in Bluefield with strict ticketing and penalties. Another ordinance lets the city treasurer charge a fixed fee for out-of-town coal sellers based on truck weight. The board rejected Johnny Hands Hell Drivers’ stunt show at the municipal stadium and scheduled a street inspection for Rock street. Building permits were issued for repairs and additions to several homes, church, and business buildings. Licenses granted to four restaurants across Bluefield avenues.
