End of Two Year City Administration Deliberations
The city council convened to close the old term and begin the new. Mayor Silsby and six aldermen heard reports, approved minutes, and referred a lighting offer to the light committee. Bills totaling 11,700 with 10,000 for the city hall were approved. An address by Mayor Silsby praised growth, sewer and water bond votes, and city improvements, while recognizing a need to curb law violations. They debated street repairs, bridge work, and street sprinkling. The council accepted bids for the city hall heating system and gas piping, and awarded electric wiring bids. A.J. Kings joined the new council as Second Ward alderman.
