City OKs WPA Cemetery Project and Budget Clarifications
The city council unanimously authorized the mayor and city clerk to sign a WPA project for improvements at South Park Cemetery. The project, drawn by City Engineer Lea Rowland, is estimated at 40 to 50 thousand dollars with sponsors covering 25 percent, to be completed over about three years. It may take two months to route the project through government offices. The cemetery board proposed a 25 cent monthly increase in the minimum water rate to finance the project, but action was deferred due to budget constraints and the need for state tax commission approval.
