Citywide advisory vote on city run bus line and precincts
Voters will decide in the April spring election on three advisory questions backed by Mayor Alvin L. Rummel. The issues cover continuing a municipal bus operation, opening a municipal wood and coal yard, and creating new voting precincts such as Sunday Lake, Wii co and Plymouth. The move aims to gauge taxpayer sentiment with minimal city cost, following previous polling concerns and a plan to provide free bus rides for voters. The report notes the impact on election board costs and mentions related bank construction and a Fordson tractor delivery.
