Aldermen urged to act on loan bill amid election concerns
The Board of Aldermen were urged to take up a new loan bill worth 916,900 in addition to 1,521,300 already authorized, totaling 2,437,300 for year end. Critics warn it narrows city borrowing capacity and mirrors earlier log rolled measures. Mayor’s rejected seven items and a substitute proposal by Alderman Iney and Inkham is touted as prudent. Voters will judge incumbents next week based on whether they back the mayor’s business approach or risky job promises.
