Fire station legislation delayed in Elyria council
Elyria council delayed final passage of a measure to authorize the Cedar Street site for the Arthur W. Ely Memorial Fire Station. Fred Sanford opposing rules suspension halted the bill, despite earlier committee support for the land purchase at 29,500 dollars. Budget notes show 180,000 dollars expected from the Ely Estate lease over 10 years, with 173,288 dollars available for land, architect fees, construction, and equipment, avoiding taxpayer cost if revenue suffices.
