City Council probes Municipal League accusations
The Municipal League charges against the committee on claims will be reviewed at the upcoming Common Council meeting. Norris proposes a formal investigation with Capen, Mead, Rutan, General Martin, and Colby to form the investigative panel, with other League members possible if needed. The issue prompts calls for bottom facts and warnings about carriage check sales among councilmen. The league strengthens its case by gathering more evidence as city departments report no official denial yet. Legislators prepare Lexow style scrutiny as officials await action.
