Contractor Miller to Build City Hall
A long lost bid to use an automobile as a fire hose carriage ends in a motion to discharge the Automobile Committee. The Charley Rouss Fire Company convened with no report and no committee chair. Members applauded the discharge as wasted effort and the money will be redirected to other needs. The note ends with a call to Shawnee Tribe members in Richmond Pawnee Tribe to scalp thirty-nine pale faces and reinstate one old member next Thursday night.
