The city council again discussed demolishing several old dilapidated buildings on West Main Street and East Main, but no action was taken. The Imperial brick building and the Antler frame structure may be razed after deeds are received from owner Mrs Rose Torek, with salvage possible on others. Delinquent taxes loom over the properties as safety officials note hazardous conditions.
