Dolton Board Buys Tear Gas Pistol and Paves Way to Remove Unsightly Buildings
The Dolton village board met November 27 with all members present. They approved purchase of a new tear gas pistol for 37.50 with five shells, based on a police chief recommendation, noting its duraluminum construction and 12 gauge shells. The purchase includes a ninety day payment period and is deemed valuable for the police department. Finance Chairman Schnoor presented left-over bills and semi-monthly salaries for approval. Streets and Alleys Chairman Erffmeyer sought permission to post warning signs on street light poles but Public Service Company officials declined, citing repair work interference. Continued discussion on residual paving straw is noted.
