Council Members Question Gas Bag on City Truck
Questions in council on motion of Ald Paddison and Hawkins, the Liquid Fuel Control Board to allow Gammel to dispense with the gas bag on the electricity utility truck and grant an allowance to run. Ald Meagher noted a staff statement on the electricity department for the period ending December would be ready before the next meeting and referred it to the electricity committee for report. Meagher also asked that a motion from a prior meeting regarding maintenance attention to the vehicle be considered, concerned it was excessive and unlikely if the vehicle did not revert to petrol as agreed.
