Boundary Dispute Aired At Mullens City Meeting
Mullens city officials debated whether the Jones and Spry Super Market lies inside the city limits, amid maps and charter questions. A faulty printer’s charter print caused boundary confusion, with a new survey deemed unnecessary yet a records check promised. Also discussed were a clogged Green Street ditch, car transmission troubles, and a retrenchment plan reducing city worker salaries.
