Leader's Request May Mean Passage Of New Ordinance
The City Common Council may soon consider an ordinance allowing transfer of license fees from older horse drawn permits to new motor taxi permits. A letter from Peter Sender urged credit for renewals, but no ordinance permitted such transfer, leading to initial denial. Chairman Ackerman urged action to modernize and prepare the measure, while other business included sewer bond bids and staff changes.
