City councils delay blocks municipal water ownership plan
In a joint session last night the councils debated buying the water works. The old plant began as a possible $100000 asset and now profits for its owners. The proposed sale price sits at $175000, with no clear city gain in the new contract, prompting a backtrack to committees. The water board cited nearby cities noting rental values around $25 yearly versus Corry’s $57, deeming the current terms excessive. The issue, tied to a bond vote, was not resolved before old contract expiry. Meanwhile, Corry Fair Association promotes its seventh annual exhibition with promises of broad amusements and education and urges readers to support the event.
