City’s Mayor Situation Is Same, Only Different
A council stalemate leaves G Cliff Hough and Arthur W Buehler tied at six votes each, with Doane favoring Hough and Austin backing Buehler. J Jamison’s withdrawal leaves a 7 7 draw versus last summer’s 10 4 for Buehler. City engineers coordinate sewer and paving crews as summer projects loom and traffic shifts on Willey Street await new controls. Peggy Daley joins Sanitary Board staff, replacing Barbara Bakes. Daley is Morgantown High School graduate of 1967, with Dud Hill Road roots.
