City Council Plans Police Headquarters Move
The City Council discussed moving police headquarters to the first floor of City Hall with tentative approval. Plans by Building Inspector Bleé place two police justices near the north wall and a police court room to the south, plus a desk sergeant, chief’s office, and vehicle space on Potomac Street. The heating system will be updated and second and third floor reconfigurations follow. The Council authorized a $25 reward for two youths who aided in catching a false alarm youth, and received a Chamber of Commerce letter praising gas service abolition, paving Washington Street, removing trollies, and building the market house.
