Police say civil service meddling hurts Chicago police work
A critical column laments Chicago civil service practices as hindering police effectiveness. It cites out of town appointees in key posts, mentions the psychopathic laboratory at City Hall, and notes high salaries for some officials while clerks' pay lags. It quotes Mayor Thompson urging local residence as a qualification.

Appellate Court halts tax filing penalty in Hoyne campaign
The Appellate Court ruled the tax schedule filing fine was repealed, undercutting State's Attorney Hoyne's tax campaign. Judge McDonald had similarly quashed Julius Rosenwald's indictment for failing to file a personal property schedule. Assessing boards retain penalizing power. Centaur Motor Company had appealed after a $150 fine by former County Judge Owens.
