Council Hears Pella Street and Utility Matters
The Weeting city council met Tuesday with Mayor Vanden Berg presiding and all members present. They discussed grading Union street for a cement walk, received the electrical department report showing $3,483.32 receipts and $3,317.41 expenditures, and noted four new electric customers in September. A Cameron Septic Tank Co release settlement costing $5,000 was approved for Pella. C. W. Dennis was appointed city marshal and Elbert Breuklander assistant marshal. The boiler flue had been purchased, meeting time moved to 7:30, and the Garden City Feeder Co alley changes were approved after reconsideration. Preparations for next year’s budget and paving were discussed, with notices about water and sewer line connections. A humorous aside warned against ignoring city regulations.
