The Board of Tax Assessors will ask at a Reynolds School special meeting for up to five thousand dollars to modernize platting records and card index systems. The Fire Engineers seek three thousand dollars to buy hose, adapters, nozzles, and parts, citing hose test failures and aging equipment. A four thousand dollar request from Work Relief aims to aid relief efforts, and the Council pursues an unspecified sum to cover current-year bills.
