Too Many Aldermen Vote Suggestion in City Debate
A municipal debate favors reducing aldermen to thirty five and funding full time service with a 34,000 salary per member. Walter L. Fisher of the Municipal Voters' League argues off year elections should end, urging a constitutional amendment and new charter to cut costs and raise standards, listing a long slate of candidates across many wards though some are praised and others criticized. The piece notes the high expense of campaigns and the desire to attract capable leaders.
