City Council Advances Water Plan amid Debates and Appointments
The city council met in regular session with most members present. They discussed paying a $91 nursing bill, street clean up ordinances, saloon closing petitions, bids for city printing and prisoner feeding, and a safe for the clerk. The resignation of Councilman Davis was accepted and F A Reynolds named as replacement. A push for municipal ownership of the water system contested by experts led to a plan to hire an engineer to estimate available capacity and city needs.
