City council wins key ruling in parking lot dispute
The council and mayor advance a half million dollar municipal parking project after a public hearing and an executive session. The plan calls for revenue bonds to finance a $400000 to $560000 lot between Neville and Prince streets, with Judge R. J. Thrift Jr. to set property value and bond terms. Several landowners protested, arguing loss of frontage and harm to buildings, while some questioned the need given existing lots.
