City Council Has Small Grist
The semi monthly council meeting Tuesday had little business. Most aldermen were present except De Haan. A property owner's culvert request was sent to a committee as the city cannot finance such work, each owner to build their own. Grading was ordered on the east side of the Home for the Aged property for a new sidewalk. The Chamber of Commerce asked for weekly flushing of the business district streets to protect new pavement, and the mayor ordered flushing every Wednesday and Saturday morning.
