Firemen pay raise adopted by aldermen vote 13 to 11
The Bridgeport Common Council overrode Mayor Lee's veto to grant a fire department pay raise of $200 a year for eligible members, despite protests from the Taxpayers' League and later defections by Aldermen Gould and Wilder. Aldermen 11 opposed the veto, with a debate accusing the league of misrepresentation and urging fair taxation amid calls for a public utilities measure.
