Benton may adopt a dog and animal control ordinance. The council reviewed a draft by City Atty. Lloyd Cox with Public Health Commissioner Clarence Lowery.

Reexamination slated at next meeting. Also discussed attendance at a revenue seminar and extending bids for a fire department addition. Approximately 15 percent of US air cargo comes from Chicago.
