At a Corry City Council meeting residents of York Street pressed for action on a faulty septic tank at 136 York owned by Eugene Stoddard. The council promised to urge the Erie County Health Department, but others feared no agency can fix the long running issue. Council also debated stalled traffic signal replacement by Municipal Sales and a non arriving water pump for a new well. Generators, paving defects on Ohio and Johnson streets, and PennDOT night plowing policies provoked sharp questions about responsibility and funding. City officials urged action, with state legislators pressed on snow removal funding and priorities for 1975-76 highway maintenance.

The motion to send Robert Grice and David Johnson to the seminar passed unanimously.
