Winchester Journal Herald.

     Oiling of all gravel streets within the city limits has been completed it was announced last night at the regular meeting of the city council.  Streets oiled include Beech, Walnut, Oak, Ann, Fifth, North Meridian, Residence, back drive at the Beeson club house, Brown, Race and West North to state road 32 (Lennon drive).
     Little business was transacted at the meeting, attended by all council members, Mayor Oran E. Ross, City Attorney Raymond R. Tanner and Clerk-Treasurer Estrella B. Davis.
     Council approved an application of Meeks Cockerill to tap a sewer on North West street and adopted a resolution to transfer $500 from the cemetery fund to the treasurer of the Fountain Park cemetery.
     Mrs. Davis's office in the city building soon will undergo a paint job, council approving of the repair.
