City Council Debates Fire Limits and Elects Weigher
The council meets to finalize election oversight and pass amendments. Alderman Burnside notes business opposition to broader fire limits near Main street while Geo E Logan favors preserving limits with brick veneer options for Lawler and Rowley streets. The veneer plan advances, with a vote to require solid masonry on buildings east of Rowley and west of Lawler. The city sells east Second street lot for 225, appoints M. M. McDonald as city weigher after multiple ballots, and updates refunding bond tax levy mechanisms.
