Total cost of the project is $6,779.10. The Colby City Council, at its monthly meeting Tuesday night, passed a resolution which gives the council the power to assess property after the project is completed. A new resolution will be required for any new projects in the city. Fl o rence Garbush, representing the Clark County Historical Society, told the council that moving the old depot is expected to begin this week. She said the group hopes a oneway street at the end of Second Street can be provided to get to the building. The council passed an oral resolution establishing no parking signs on the east side of the road at the football field; a speed sign on E. Adams St. and no parking signs 700 feet north from Adams and Second streets on east side of the road. The signs had already been installed.
Regarding Colby’s water problems, it was reported that testing of a fifth hole showed “optimistic” signs at 15 to 20 feet. More tests are being constructed this week.
Class B liquor licenses were granted to Stanley Hesgard, Ralph Bloome, Arthur Fults and Morris Wicker.
