City Council Discusses West Town Sewer Plan and Bond Proposal
In a Wednesday meeting the council approved claims and heard Engineer Cost present plans for a west town storm and sanitary sewer from Seminary Street to Washington. The project would cost about 30000 dollars with 20000 funded by bonds and 10000 assessed on property owners. If approved the city debt would reach the constitutional limit and hamper future needs. S. H. Jennings was re elected school trustee for a three year term starting August 1. The council recessed to Thursday to revisit the sewer proposition.
