Municipal Council Faces Scrutiny Over Expenditures
The Moor council's finance committee faced questions from Alderman Nelson about verification of expenditures and whether all costs were approved by the council. Nelson urged full access to financial statements, while Alderman Cook and others warned against undue criticism of the committee. The council later approved the report and discussed a £12 renewal cost for catwalks, with the mayor welcoming the new engineer J. Gowans and noting postwar public works. The Works Committee reported on road widening, dam fencing, and park improvements. Water supply concerns were highlighted, including pumping needs and a transmission line.
