Public Works Board reorganizes to tackle street sewer and utility duties
The Board of Public Works splits into two committees after the water and light commission abolition. One handles street and sewer matters led by Alderman Matt Wright and others. the other oversees the water and light plant with Aldermen Wright Fred Thuss and A L Mac Farlane. All actions stay under board review and accounts remain with the city treasurer and superintendent. An inventory of street department tools will be kept current, and a new labor report is being drafted to track city paid time. Delinquent water and light accounts are fewer than expected, per the board's investigation. The next council meeting will try to centralize department business into single sessions.
