Smith Tenders Resignation From Bronte Water Office
C. R. Smith, Bronte water commissioner, offered his resignation at the City Council meeting on August 7 and urged steps to appoint a successor. The council took no action and the matter remains pending. Smith claimed more water is available than ever despite drought and offered to reimburse any customer whose meter readings are inflated by air in the pipes. He warned that council duties require more time than a single monthly meeting allows. The council praised his performance, noted water supply despite the dry season, and discussed fire truck repairs and forming a volunteer company. A 60 cent per hour labor standard was approved for the month. Present: Mayor Noah L. Pruitt, C. E. Bruton, George Thomas, O. W. Chapman, C. R. Smith, D. K. Glenn.
