City Hall buzz over tied up loan bills and possible veto
Hundreds of workmen crowded City Hall as two loan bills stalled in the Board of Aldermen. Rumors tied the delay to Martin Lomasney, but aldermen Whelton and Linehan shifted blame from the opposition. Bromberg warned against a special meeting and suggested a possible reduced sewer loan. The mayor signaled a veto if bills fail, and Superintendent Doyle announced 75 contract drivers laid off with further suspensions possible after Monday.
