Council Votes To Take Over Water System
The council revisited a water system takeover and amended funding to take $13,500 from the water department reserve rather than general revenue. Commissioner S F Fagsler opposed the change, saying funds should come from next year’s appropriation. The reserve fund holds about $88,000 after debts. The panel also authorized water pipe installation on Verbeke Street and park budget transfers citing island rentals. Final ordinances approved paving Walnut Street section and laying 3,000 feet of pipe in the Fourteenth ward.
