City Council Acts On Tax Classifications And School Power Shovel Bid
During a Monday meeting at City Hall the council followed the city assessor’s recommendation to reclassify several taxpayers occupation statuses, noting some former mechanics are now unemployed or working as laborers. The council also approved paying Miss Lillian Hill two dollars as a city witness in a salt case from last summer’s Cascade Park drowning incident. The Salvation Army’s request to tax-exempt the Crawford estate on North Jefferson Street was referred to the assessor for report. Bids for a new power shovel were rejected in favor of seeking a reconditioned unit. A complaint by Jordan Bailey about railroad crossings near Mahoning Avenue and excessive horn and whistle noise was referred to the city solicitor and mayor for action under police powers.
