CITY COUNCIL
_____
A special Council meeting was
held last Monday evening at the
City Hall with a good crowd of
interested citizens in attendance
to discuss the proposed city sales
tax now under consideration.
The sales tax was considered
favorable by most of those in at
tendance with certain modifica
tions. It was suggested and urged
that the fund be allocated and ear
marked for definite projects, for
example a certain percentage be
allowed for schools, seawall, gar
bage disposal, etc.
Another outstanding modifica
tion suggested was that the tax be
limited to one per cent this year
and changed later if conditions
warranted.
