City considers tobacco tax cut and license fee halt
A resolution delays further action on repealing the $2 city driver’s license fee and trims tobacco taxes. Finance Chair Kincaman urged suspending repeal to examine budget slack as the tobacco tax firm represents about $49,000 in revenue. Mayor Copenhaver had pledged repeal during his campaign. The cigarette license would drop to $5.50 per machine when unafflicted tobaccos are not dispensed. Six bids for a new municipal pool, ranging from $3,100 to $43,479, were forwarded to subcommittees for study.

West Virginia seeks renewed federal aid for soldiers' homes
West Virginia officials met with the General Accounting Office to reinstate federal aid for state soldiers homes after a comptroller general ruling in October. They cite Weston and Norman homes as similar, aiming to restore aid estimated at 365,000 to 70,000 dollars annually.
