Special Meeting of Council Reports Tax Levy and Wells
The city council met last evening with all members present to pass the annual tax levy and appropriation ordinances. The levy stands at twenty-two mills, down from twenty-four in 1911 and twenty-eight in 1910, signaling improved conditions and tax relief. Water Commissioner Welch outlined well sinking tests, noting better flow after cleaning casings and suggesting purchasing the west half of lot 4, block 87 for new wells. An ordinance condemning the fractional lot was approved, with appraisers named. A treasury balance of $80,740.19 shows no outstanding warrants, while last year had $2,856.70 unpaid. The meeting also noted local visits and community updates, including failures and insurance solicitations.
