City Council Paving Program Faces Setback
City officials halted the paving plan amid a $400,000 funding dilemma. White Street sewer work appears to be cut back, only a $60,000 sidewalk project saved. About 285 property owners may receive notices to lay walks, with contractors ready to act if needed. If work isn’t started by August, the city will hire crews. The plan to finish all three projects hinges on bond funds and upcoming assessments.

Living Costs Establish New Record
Washington AP reports February living costs rose three tenths of a percent to a new record, the first rise in six months and the largest since July. Deputy commissioner Robert Myers said the gain does not signal a price uptrend, forecasting some March increases with foods driving the rise. The CPI reached 104.8 percent of the 1957-59 base, up nine tenths from a year earlier, as food costs climbed six tenths driven by winter storms in the South Florida and Texas regions.
