Council Nominees Discuss Platforms At Ladies Meeting
Three city council candidates spoke at a Women’s Civic League luncheon at the George Washington Hotel. Ward 2 candidates Fred Brumback and Claude Smalts Jr favored minimal taxes and higher expenses respectively, while Ward 1 candidate George Pully urged running the town like a practical business. A letter from R. Clark of Ward 2 urged lower taxes and a simpler budget. New officers were elected, and $300 from Brigadoon proceeds will fund three local charities. An annual luncheon is set for June 13 at York Inn, and a May 16 concert by Peggy Haymaker is planned for Handley Library Auditorium.
