A $50,090 bond proposal to fund a municipal harbor at Hog Creek and railroad terminals was defeated 60 to 46. City plans may shift as Wr. C. N. Payne continues harbor work, with Sea Board lines to remove tracks from Strawberry avenue spur once Hog Creek harbor is ready. Proponents expect a future vote with more information to win approval.
