Council Approves Hospital Architect Firm in Charleston
The city council approved the Cincinnati firm Samuel Banna ford and S for the Arab hospital project, with an amendment allowing a comparable firm acceptable to the bond company and PWA. Mayor Dawson said the Cincinnati firm was approved by bond holders and the PWA, and the city must listen to funders. Hannafords drew preliminary plans under PWA. A delegation urged Washington to consider petitions soon. Defense gear, six cruiser cars, rifles, pistols, riot gear, gas masks, and other items were authorized for civilian defense. Three ordinances moved to committee include prohibiting riverbank leases near the seaplane base, starting evening beer parlor curfews, and street parking rules. Additional items cover paving assessments, parking in alleys, and a 2000 civilian defense fund. A proposal to lease the WPA recreation center for Negroes was referred to finance, and Bradford Street work was authorized. The Minsker estate Jet at 3000 and a Gamble estate share were reported amid a November revenue tally.
