High handed methods in city salary plunder exposed
The Board of Public Works defied the city charter by raising salaries without council approval. Charles Garrard of the street department earns 1600 dollars, up from 1200, with funds not authorized by the council. Officials in health and other departments also had salaries fixed or increased without council consent. The Sun reports ongoing board overreach under Holtzman, including new offices and diverted funds. The piece accuses the administration of running riot through the treasury while seeking public endorsement.
