Plumbing Concern Charged With Inferior Materials Use
Hugh Weatherly of a Dothan plumbing firm faced a city commission meeting over alleged use of materials not approved by the city plumbing code on a main sewer line. Inspector A T Todd said Weatherly used pipe unsuitable for permanent work, similar to temporary Army post materials from the war. The commission withheld a final ruling pending further investigation. They noted sewer surveys for the South Side area and planned work pending material availability. The club’s lottery proposal was rejected as illegal, and officials approved a freezing unit purchase for Napier Field and mowing at municipal airports.
