City Council breaks routine with four historic votes
City council enacted a series of novel acts including appointing 27 year old Robert Grice as streets director, tabling a second reading ordinance on East Street hill abandonment, and delaying payment of a bill. Grice, supported by Mayor Edward Zarger, faced Democratic objections led by Mrs. George Downey. The body unanimously tabled the ordinance after a citizen opposed it over access concerns, while a letter from the state secretary of revenue was read.
