The Board of Local Improvements harshly warning contractors who skimp on materials and workmanlike construction. President Keeney vows to exclude unsatisfactory bidders and to inspect Kedzie avenue foundations, promising full replacement of faulty pavement. Governors Deneen and city leaders push for special sessions on subway harbor legislation and broader bank regulation to curb wild cat lending and protect depositors.
