Council Debates Parking Rule and FBI Course
Winchester council debated street parking on Boscawen Street and defeated a change from ten minutes to an hour. They rejected sending an officer to FBI Academy in Washington, opting for Charlottesville police school with lower costs. W. P. Anderson voted no on a Continental Oil permit, while Rosenberger sought city lot ownership, a 1867 building once storing explosives. Capital improvements and garbage-collection rules dominated discussions.
