Last night the common council adopted most of the auditing committee report while objecting to one item. A request for a city encyclopedia for the city solicitor was referred back. The Street Commissioner cited Judge Jesano on turnpike repair costs totaling about $1,000 within the city and a West Market street bridge in unsafe condition. Several ordinances were introduced, including a steam fire engine purchase and salary adjustments, with second readings deferred amid objections.
