City tax cut plan collapses on library report error
Mayor Asel’s bid to cut the library levy by two cents collapsed after an error in Library Board chairman B. F. Reed’s report. The mistaken balance of 8572.25, wrongly tied to this year’s 7400 collection, invalidated the proposed levy reduction. The veto was withdrawn and council tonight moves to traffic law changes including parallel parking on High Street and a two hour daytime limit.
