Aldermanic Board Deadlocks Over Finance Sheet in Budget Row
The Aldermanic Board, eight members present, fails to break a tie on the Finance Sheet amid a 1914 budget dispute. City Attorney James L Mayson and assistant W D Ellis Jr say the mayor cannot vote to break ties under current code, while council factions press for action. Mayor Woodward hints at daily meetings until the sheet passes or is amended, after council adjourns without a call for a special session.
