Chief W R B Cummings urged a 1940 equipment appropriation around 61 590 for the Atlanta fire department.

The West Peachtree project drew strong bids, while night school funding and park and street resurfacing requests also appeared. The committee planned another session after noon, with a tour of the city’s Commercial High School during the break.
