Manchester Council Buys Site for Deep Well Project
Manchester Iowa April 27 The city council met as a board of review to hear objections to property valuations but few spoke. One taxpayer’s argument, cut to 16 dollars tax, was reduced after discussion. The panel closed the option on the Prospect and Union lot and directed engineers to draft specs for drilling a 250 foot well to secure adequate water flow. Water funds are seen as sufficient to complete the project. North Franklin street paving debated with patching opposed by some as useless, others voting for it to show owners the futility of patchwork. The council adjourned without a vote. resurfacing in brick or concrete is favored by all, though some seek to appease owners.
