City Plans Parking Lot For Trucks And Police Change
At a regular meeting the city council accepted the resignation of policeman Boc Bogart effective immediately and appointed Fred Robbs to fill the vacancy. A plan to rent a lot at Chester Ave and Railroad Ave for heavy trucks was approved with Romney as the sole committee to arrange it. The council also considered garbage service complaints and approved minor improvements. The El Paso Natural Gas Co sought 60 extra feet of right of way near the city’s grounds, a grant was approved for the Coronado Heights Sub-division map change, and bids for painting City Hall and a police department automobile were accepted.
