Bond Issue Question Tops City Council Session
City councilors spent ten minutes in morning session with all members present except Hall. A $75,000 bond issue was reportedly approved by New York bonders while a $25,000 issue was delayed by a technicality. Health and dog rabies concerns drew attention as the mayor and city attorney consider action, but officials defer responsibility to the Health Department and Board of Health.
