Mayor Woostead Ultimatum Targets Whitehall Funds In Budget Debate
Mayor James G. Woodward issued an ultimatum to finance officials over the Whitehall grading project, threatening to withdraw at least 15000 from the income side of the budget if council pushes radical changes. He denied involvement in crafting the budget sheet and defended support for unfinished work including Spring and West Peachtree regrading while criticizing R B Otis and Alderman Kelley over Whitehall and Pryor street allocations. If Otis and Kelley reconcile, Woodward would consider approving the sheet with the 16000 continuation for Pryor Street in the Whitehall plan.
