Doings of the Council and City Improvements
At last night’s council meeting an application to hire an additional policeman failed 5 votes to 5 with the mayor casting the deciding vote against it. An ordinance banning peddling was approved, and water rates were revised to be more equitable. Another ordinance created a park board to oversee park affairs, though mayor and city engineer recommendations for board members were not confirmed. A ten ton roller was authorized for street improvements. Rev Wim Reding and KE Mullen depart for Milwaukee to ride a special train to Washington for the Columbus monument unveiling on the Sth, expected to draw about 50,000 Knights of Columbus.
