City Council approves rezoning decision amid resident concerns
The City Council upheld the zoning board to keep land south of I-20 near Country Club for residential use, deferring any re zone to C 2 unless a buyer emerges. T. C. Slack urged PHA land could become revenue through commercial sale with use restrictions. The council also gave service awards, raised the city attorney retainer to 400 dollars, and approved a drainage-ditch bridge near the new hospital.
