Public Works Chairman Defends Sewage Plant Plan
Alderman Rex Eyler, chairman of the Board of Public Works, told the City Council that expansion may be needed at Monroe's sewage plant to meet growth, but a full expansion costing up to 400000 will not be pursued. Former Mayor Victor Schiller accused officials of misleading residents and questioned whey dumping limits and emergency statutes. Eyler and City Engineer Wickus assured operation if whey and grease are kept out, while Mayor Evans supported the council's efforts to restore plant operation. The council also approved paying 2115.56 to the Stauffacher Construction Co for street repairs under a state good faith bill, despite Schiller's protest over prior legal costs.
