Busse's Early Chicago Era Marks Strong Start
The Eagle profiles Mayor Fred A. Busse, praising his first twenty one months in office. It lauds his appointments, police leadership under Chief George Shippy, health reforms led by Dr William A Evans, and a parliam entary style that tightens City Council proceedings. It notes progress on streetcar modernisation and criticizes Dunne era slanders.
