Final 1959 Bond Issue Total Set at 870 000
Last night the City Council approved the final 1959 bond issue totaling 87 000 with one item raised and another cut. Mayor J Pred Kinley urged 7 500 for the Planning Commission, down from 10 000, saying the commission needed at least 16 000 for a city wide plan. The Planning Commission favored starting with 10 000 though funding depends on federal reimbursement. If the planning effort fails, the money would be lost. The council agreed to seek the 10 000, with the mayor confident in the commission to carry through. Continued on Page Eight.
