Fire Department Time Loss From 17 Extra Vacation Days
An ordinance authorizes 24 days off per year for every hoseman, an increase of 17 days annually. The change raises daily expenses and results in a net monetary loss of about 72 220 after accounting for salary and days off. The shift ignores prior increments for hosemen reaching maximum pay, and total costs contrast with prior year spending.

Eames and Hogan Clash at Hearing Over Price
During a contentious hearing Alderman Eames pressed Alderman Hogan on whether the $42,000 paid for the Geld project was wholesale or retail. Hogan, defending requisitions, avoided a clear answer as Burnham and others condemned the $42,000 as misused funds and questioned the project’s price and origin. The dispute traced back to 1928 and linked the Democratic machine to defeating Mayor Atwater and pushing the measure forward despite opposition.
