Petition to Extend Water Lines Faces Council Table
City council met at the municipal building with England Mulderick Stary and Williams present. A petition to extend fire protection water lines to Mast Columbus Avenue and Sciota Street drew limited direct interest, as only about fifteen property owners would be affected. The hydrant project would cost about 3600 annually, so the item was tabled due to unavailable funds. Other actions included granting a gasoline service pump permit, planned street improvements on Vine Street, and adjustments to street lighting while considering voting machine regulations and apportionment bills on the House calendar.
