No Money for Water Works and Public Works Meetings
At a board meeting the contract for city hall fire escapes was awarded to Ohio Structural Iron Works of Toledo for 499 dollars. The state fire inspector warned the escapes must be installed by September or the Espera House would close. The state board of health reported good water samples with minor impurities to be remedied. The city solicitor warned that further bond issues would be illegal. Wooster’s bonded debt is 200,000 dollars, eight percent of assessed property value. At the Republican county convention W A Craig, Hervey H Hubbell, Walker Christy, and John Stevens were nominated for various county offices. Wayne County agricultural society planned a record fair for Sept 30 to Oct 2, including a new bog barn and a ticket office at the W Liberty entrance.
