City actions set 1956 budget pace and meter fees
The board moved to amend an ordinance to charge $2 weekly for each parking meter space out of use as property owners face tighter budgets. Bids on 120 automatic meters from five out of state firms were opened and sent to City Engineer Walter for tabulation before the purchasing committee reviews. The mayor was authorized to contract with the Community Chest to shelter city vagrants. Additional measures include lighting on Queen Street, a 4 inch gas main on Setley Avenue, a traffic light at College Avenue and Second Street, and stop signs at East Fourth and Fifth Streets.
