Water Works Debate Sparks Dixon city goals
The Dixon Sun appraises Starrs water system proposal versus McNeils outfitting, arguing a proper, first class plant at $4,875 or less is preferable. It urges council to act now, noting water works lower long term taxes, protect property, and align Dixon with Rockford, Freeport, Sterling and others while avoiding a ruinous cheap setup. It also lists local updates on residents, business moves, and notable visits.
