Council creates assistant city manager in charge of streets
The Common Council at a special meeting elected L. R. Dettra as assistant city manager in charge of streets for the rest of the year through January 1, 1922. Dettra, former superintendent of the Valley Turnpike Company, is expected to help manage street work while City Manager Trier handles other duties. The move follows acknowledgment that Trier cannot devote sufficient time to increased responsibilities as revenues rise from about 20,000 to roughly 184,000 annually.
