Aldermen clashed as a loan measure fell four votes short after a heated battle. Council members attacked the plan’s extravagance while defending council prerogatives, amid whispered favors and open lobbying by department heads and pressuring constituents. The committee report had favored passage, but opposition blamed misallocation to wards and the mayor’s pruning.
