Most of the lengthy March

an ordinance authorizing the
bond election to finance the
water system improvements.
Objections by some council
members and residents pre

the matter. A special meeting
for , the reading of the ordi
nance was set for March 19.
Mayor Wilson informed
those present that the prime
concern was storage of water
to meet State Health Division
requirements.
A jury panel ordinance was
passed.

offered on the purchase of a
five-acre tract which the
council had considered buying
as a source of gravel for city
streets.
