Mayor in Jail After Arrest Holiday Sparks Legal Chaos
The mayor orders courts to sit idle and reject prisoners, leaving magistrates powerless as records are purged for a grand jury. With no magistrates and open jails, suspects, drunks, and vagrants crowd police courts while detectives and officers drift between offices. The feud with Safety Director Dunn worsens the breakdown in authority.

Quick Coal Bill Action Is Warned
The committee plans an executive session Monday to decide whether the measure will be reported to the senate. House action is expected the same day with leaders predicting quick passage. Proponents claim the bill is a needed stop-gap to curb over capacity in 5,000 mines across 27 states, defended as a price fixing measure to stabilize the industry and protect 542,000 miners. Critics warn the bill could destroy industry flexibility and argue government regulation should target true monopolies.

State budget balance set amid notes retired and surplus
The state reports a balance of 2,023,137 with excess to be reface after unexpended and cancelled appropriations are brought in. Last year’s balance stood at 2,827,263.21 as Dover notes debts were cleared and a 637,416.70 return to treasury occurred due to excess disbursements over receipts. The Balanced Budget forecast predicts a substantial general revenue surplus by June 30, 1997, though revenues may exceed estimates, and warns against financing new projects with fixed appropriations. Details cover tax receipts, road funds, and capital payments for the state capitol finishing costs.

Adjournment Drive Opens as Leaders Push for Accord
Leaders opened an adjournment drive with a plan to reach tentative accords on tax and relief bills by Monday. Some officials voiced disappointment over slow progress as Congress recesses for the Republican convention. Conferees have not met this week, and sessions focused on non-controversial items while minor agreements were reached. Congress still must act on conference reports for the treasury post office, interior, and District of Columbia appropriations, the Robinson-Patman and chain-store bills, and other measures.
