City Council expands snowplow fleet in two directions
The city council last night ordered two more snowplows funded from public money, placing one in the far east and one in the far west ends of the city. Supporters argued for faster snow removal before school time while critics questioned costs. A bid process and shelters for each plow were approved, with ongoing debate over necessity and funding. The report also notes an unusual early surge in applications for aid to the poor, led by the Fourth Ward and Mills Mission areas, while the current year's budget shows a $500 increase to $39,040 for maintenance.
