Sanitary Police Move To Add Two Officers
An ordinance to create two additional sanitary policemen, to be nominated by the board of health and appointed by the board of public safety at a salary of 60 per month each, progressed to the committee on public health and finance. The Fort Wayne Labor Federation urged funds for free park band concerts and a permanent tax levy for this purpose, plus support for policemen's higher pay. Other measures include Seidel’s wire ordinance, waterworks contract with Forest Park, and potential sale of Lawton park lots to fund Delta lake purchase. The Lakeside property held to a cap of 5,000. Mayor Hosey announced approval of several ordinances: boosting liquor license at retail from 100 to 150, granting Nickel Plate railroad a new crossing, adding 9,000 for a Fire Station expansion, and seeking a Fort Wayne armory site appropriation.
