Mayor Stodden Sues Reply Over City Finances Report
Mayor Stodden accused a chamber of commerce committee report on city finances of being misleading. He argues many expenses inherited from prior administrations should be deducted, listing items such as refighting equipment, city buildings, market work, police motorcycles, sewer contracts, curb and sidewalk costs, sprinkling assessments, and district charges. He cites 1918 receipts, 1919 dips, and a dropped valuation, concluding expenses would total 662,063.72 rather than 821,330.67.
