The outage disrupted beer pumps and daily business, while ex-Alderman Fred Ives and fellow Republicans postponed a ward club meeting until Wednesday. A dry goods fire at Stratford Avenue caused a minor alarm, and an open air socialist meeting featuring Hubert H Harrison was planned for Wall and Main streets. The item also recounts Armagh Orange Lodge history and ends with a Dallas News quip about two months salary and ginger snaps.
