Improved Street Lighting Plan For Square Proposed to Council
County officials approve emergency sewer line funding between the court house and city system with the county paying for a new line to a manhole at 11th street and 17th avenue while the city covers an extra manhole serving the court house. The old line’s poor condition prompts action as bids are avoided due to urgent need and city engineer supervision. Representing the county are Hahn, Miller, Rundhammer, Young, and Wolleson.
