New policeman and cruiser purchase sought by council
Safety Service Director Paul W. Ormsby urged the finance committee to recommend hiring a new policeman and buying a police cruiser at about 4000 for the car and 6500 for the officer’s salary. The department, with 11 members, lost a veteran in December after a juvenile officer position replaced a part time patrolman. The mayor announced Saturday tax office hours through April 3 and discussed limiting rummage sale permits. Water and ditch work were described as ongoing with extensive cleanup needed over 30 to 40 years.
