City Receives Large Check for Fire Station Plan
A city check for 1000 dollars was presented to the council by Gerald Martin to fund two new central fire stations rather than a memorial one. Auditor Ellsworth Asheit questions the fund’s existence and authority to cash it, suggesting a state auditor approval may be needed. Clerk Robert Corts cannot act now and will keep the check locked.
