Still After Webber at Butlers Bier Op Ed Attacks Chief Webber
An editorial in The Standard blasts Chief Webber as lacking speed and judgment while praising his courage. It criticizes the fire department’s hose procurement, wiring, and delays by the West End company, and questions contractor Willis’s influence with the fire commissioners. The piece notes calls for investigation by several aldermen and cites new insurance schedule ideas. It includes long passages on Webber’s ties to Cornelius Callahan Hose and outlines funeral ceremonies for General Butler, with processions, guards, and church services described.
