City Council Fails to Refund Garland Bond Premium
In a Thursday meeting the council failed to refund the $300 premium on Commissioner Garland’s $100,000 bond due to lack of a majority and conflicts of interest. Mayor Brown and Commissioner Lambert supported the measure. Commissioner Uhr opposed, citing no precedent for similar refunds. Police Chief Lancaster ordered W. S. Stires arrested for billboard permits after a council chamber visit. The body also approved $1200 for Ford police cars and passed a milk ordinance amendment to charge dairymen for delivery wagons, plus $3937.50 to pay interest on improvement district bonds.
