City Patronage Row Faults Democratic Clerk in Appointments
The dispute centers on Richard Herrick clerk of the safety board and civil service board, accused of steering hires to Democrats under a Republican administration. Controller Truaisr says Herrick handles patronage more than the mayor, while Councilman Murphy questions why constituents lack street jobs. In the dispensary and hospital exam results, Cols Eastman Furniss and Cook lead, with Eastman facing scrutiny from Dr Eastman who sparked a new test. Furniss, the favored Black candidate, is noted for fitness. The top three go to the hospital, the rest to the dispensary.
