Aldermen raise salaries and curtain on elevator bid
Chicago City Council votes 57 to 6 to double aldermen pay from 1500 to 3000 yearly. Debate rages over the elevator contract for the new city hall with Otis favored at 108000 over Kaestner’s lower bid. Plans aim to protect streets and alleys and extend subway funding under a mandamus action to compel the treasurer to honor warrants.
