Fayetteville Council Seeks State Aid for Town Finances
The Fayetteville Town Council at a special meeting endorsed a petition to the West Virginia Legislature seeking financial relief. They note that the town lacks public utilities beyond telephone and electric lines, with 1946 revenue of 5570.74 and expenses of 5725, leaving 25.74 for street, sewer, and town equipment upkeep. They cite no police protection for a period, unpaid sidewalk supervision, and a volunteer fire department, with a special levy as the only functioning option. They are pursuing revenue bonds for sewer and waste disposal construction and maintenance, to be serviced by a surcharge on water bills.
