PASS THE BOND BILLS FOR CHICAGO POWER AND BRIDGE REMOVAL
Mayor Busse appoints two committees to press bond power to fund harbor improvements and remove center pier bridges. Measures seek to ease real estate taxes by bonding up to 16 million while hearings in Springfield and at US engineers offices are arranged. The move follows harbor commission recommendations and includes park board appointments and safety actions from Coroner Hoffman.
