County officials face abuse inquiry by Citizens' Association
The Citizens' Association investigates alleged abuse of county civil service law by indicted SE board officials. Henry Hroyt King urged President Hanbergs of the County Board to fill the new assistant warden post at County Hospital by promotional examination, warning original exams would violate the law. A daylong session reviewed minor cases, with jurors expected to work into next week. The Cornell Street Railway Commission will not propose a subway plan to the Legislature, citing city power for tunnels and car lines. Alderman Goldaier urged a tunnel bill, but the Corporation Counsel's opinion dampened action. President Gilmann of the North Side Business Men's Association pushed the trolley plan downtown, finding little support on the commission.
