Council Acts To Legalize Curb Meters

Judge Davis dismissed an affidavit against an overtime parker for 800 block Gallia St. due to no specific meter ordinance in the town books. Council deferred action on two judge appointments, passed four ordinances, tabled one, and gave first reading to three others including a bid on a bus franchise.
