Acting Mayor pushes for fire dept funding transfer
Acting Mayor Walter L Collins seeks a $25 000 transfer from the reserve fund to expand the fire department by 50 men under the new city charter to give city auditor approval power. City Auditor Mitchell reportedly does not plan the transfer. Corporation Counsel Babson argues council overstepped the charter and warns fines and imprisonment for interference with city labor hiring. The council may lack authority if the charter repeals Act 261, leaving the transfer to the auditor with mayoral approval.
