Town Hall Tale Of A Chaotic City Council Session
A routine council meeting devolved into confusion as residents pressed for street paving while four petitions were discussed. One passed with little incident, another two years old was ordered investigated, a third defeated despite adequate frontage, and a mistake revealed in a petition for paving half a street. The council delayed action, adjourned amid relief, and a dump project update followed with satirical notes on the landfill and road signs. New doctors arrived at Beckley Appalachian Regional Hospital for two years of training, and a federal gambling case involving William Gearheart continued with arraignments set for Wednesday. A grand jury returned 21 presentments in federal court.
