City Hall swaps officials in partisan clash over seals and charges
At last Tuesday’s Aldermen meeting the nonpartisan Mayor ousted sealer George Dinan and installed Felix C. McBride amid accusations of party maneuvering. Registrar Peter Blieler was replaced by George Turnbull as Republican registrar. Budget actions followed, with Henderson defending the finance committee’s stance and a deficit addressed by using street railway tax revenue. Other communications and hearings were scheduled, including a sea wall license and brown tail moth extermination funds.
