City Debates Y M C A Water Rate and Scale Yard Site
The city commission discussed a possible seven cent water rate for the Y M C A, but faced objections that costs require at least fifteen cents. Debates over replacing old scales and installing new ones continued, with estimates around 400 dollars. Proposals to use lot 5 for a scale yard were considered, but deferred amid tenure and funding concerns. The depleted city fund prevented action on scale purchases.
