Mayor Cundall said he and other city officials had fought for years for the light and received nothing but indifferences from the State, and he was chagrined that two people, presumably Jaycees, could come along and get the item on television news and the state respond with a signal. He said he was not against the light, in fact he had requested it in prior years, but did object to the way it was handled by the state. right-of-wa- IT WAS agreed by the council for the mayor to be authorized to sign the BOR grant agreement without a legal review.
