Attorney John C. Chamberlain, longtime adviser to First district taxpayers, endorses a substitute report by the joint Cities and Boroughs committee. The plan would enlarge the Second district where growth has occurred, while ensuring First district taxpayers are not billed for improvements until they receive them, a condition they have accepted in the past.

Bartlett Has A Close Call At City Hall
Former State Senator F A Bartlett narrowly escaped injury when a heavy swinging door at City Hall crashed from its hinges at the State street entrance. The door smashed Probate chair glass but no one was hurt. Witnesses laughed at the scare as officials repaired the damage and reinforced the door jambs. Judge Hallen jumped when his door was shattered, and other city officials reacted with humorous nerves during the incident.
