Sensational Disclosures At City Hall Rally Hearings
Attorney John A. Cornell charged Mayor Wilson’s administration with wasteful spending and favoritism at Democratic rallies. He detailed $20,000 paid for an isolation hospital site valued at $1,000 nine days earlier, and $25,009 per year for barges used by the mayor’s brother, then city superintendent, plus pump fees. The talk urged voters to back Alien F. Vincent amid alleged financial chaos and broken campaign pledges.
