An ordinance was passed changing the meetings of the
Evergreen City Council from the first and third Thursday nights of each month
to the first and second Tuesday nights at seven o’clock at the council meeting
last Thursday night.
The council had traditionally met on first and third
Tuesdays, but changed to Thursdays several months ago at the request of
Councilman Lomax Cassady. At that time, Cassady was in a business which
required him to be out of town on Tuesday nights. He is now engaged in the
insurance and real estate business here, so the return to normal was enacted.

Work is fast approaching completion on a vast remodeling
project at the Bank of Evergreen. The building is being done over entirely on
the inside. The working space is being shifted over from the west to the east
side of the building, incidentally shifting the lobby, which has been decreased
in size considerably to make room for an office in front. In addition to the
old entrance, which will be retained as heretofore, an other entrance has been
made to enter the lobby from the hallway.
New and modern fixtures and equipment are being
installed including individual tellers’ cages. The safety deposit vault is
being enlarged and new safety box equipment is being installed which will
provide many more boxes. The interior will be redecorated throughout.
