Special City Council Meets in July Budget Hearing
The City Council in special session July 31 1952 chaired by Mayor Ferguson discussed sanitation fee collection and budget changes. Marion Burrell elected Second Ward Alderman to fill the vacancy caused by Elmo Ferguson's resignation. The Sanitation Committee urged funding sanitation from taxation until a solution is found and to coordinate with the Light & Water Board. The council debated apartment dwelling tenant disclosure rules, police budget cuts to 50000, and a pay rise for sanitation workers to 2355 monthly, effective August 1 1952. The engineer was instructed to bid Grover Street sewer work in two methods. Mayor and City Clerk Florence Mason attested.
