Clock debate reveals town clock and city lighting plans
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen plan an investigation into the Catholic steeple clock while discussing returning the old works. Residents seek reliable timekeeping as nearby Trinity clock faces similar issues. City officials consider improving lighting on the Trinity clock, while addressing a porch water problem and alley improvements. A water line extension and street lighting from West Second to Fleming Avenue are approved, with WPA and PWA tablets and gasoline allocations for city workers noted.
