Griffin faced questions over Miss Margaret Daly representing the department at a board of apportionment hearing. Aspirants for Griffin’s $2,200 per year post were Aldermen Walter J. Hartnett and E. C. Kelley. Mayor Atwater denied official recognition of the temporary split, and Griffin’s supporters included Alderman Brady.

Zepp defended several proposed raises, citing fear the employee might get better offers elsewhere.
