Council Passes One Ordinance Amid Drastic Anti-Fly Debate
The council held a long session with five ordinances introduced and only one passed, the prohibition of heating sewer water beyond 140 degrees for the Central Station Heating company. The anti-Fly ordinance and liquor-sale ban near the city were tabled as too drastic. An ice convention invite to Richmond was approved, and a horse purchase for water works and the fire department was postponed to the fire committee.
