Bond proposal falls on deaf ears

The subject of floating bonds was brought up again at the Tuesday planning session of the Bessemer City Council.

But the proposal by Mayor Ed May fell on deaf ears.

May jumped into a discussion about flooding problems in the Pipe Shop.

May wants to combine road paving and replacing storm pipes into a bond issue.

The council is soon expected to award a $1.3 million bid to have three downtown streets.
