Cork and Street Council Delays Budget Action and Weighs Filling Station
The regular meeting deferred passage of the annual budget as finance chair Hardy noted the late hour and possible failure to finish. Mr. Whiting asked for a permit to open a gasoline station with a 15 000 gallon tank on property between firms, drawing mixed local reaction. The council referred parts of the matter to committees while seeking neighborhood sentiment and city manager authority to grant or deny the permit. City treasurer reported December receipts of 17 794 44 and disbursements 7616 95 with a 10 177 49 balance.
