Rural water project stalls over cost gap in Atchison County
Western Atchison County plans to expand Rock Port water plant face a $200,000 gap between engineers bids and reality. By trimming about $100,000 in work and with wage and material cost increases the bond issue of $350,000 remains far short. Contractors seek cost cuts and a compromise to start the project. A second note: a Democratic dinner at the American Legion Club in Sidney is set for Tuesday June 27 at 7 p.m with U S Senate candidate Dick Clark as speaker.

Beck given another three weeks for plans
Hamburg city council extended Everett Beck’s deadline to abate a stated public nuisance at Main and E Streets after a lengthy hearing. Beck must submit written plans within one week, with city engineer inspection, leading to a July 10 hearing and an additional 60 working days to complete the work, plus a performance bond. The panel discussed walls, repairs, and possible new construction, while weather and labor doubts emerged. The council expressed a wait-and-see stance as the July hearing approached. The youth center at City Hall above the building was also noted as temporarily closed due to heat and lack of air conditioning, with reopening date to be announced.
