Mayor Dowell receives silver service amid council proceedings
In a 1918 meeting the council formally sentenced Mayor Arthur V. McDowell on a playful charge of neglect and absence.

The session approved July building permits totaling 8650 dollars and heard health, water, and street matters with no major conflicts reported.
