City to survey storm sewer needs after council vote
The city council approved a resolution for a preliminary survey of the storm sewer system to determine the real costs. City Engineer Frank Young refused to estimate the total, saying full planning could cost 15 000 to 18 000 dollars, or 3 000 to 5 000 for a limited study. Protests after a severe rainstorm and petitions from several sections spurred the action.
