Tempers Flare As New Council Assumes Duty
The new city council convened amid sharp partisan clash over an organizational ordinance expanding committees and creating a five member police board. Republicans accused the measure of diluting their power, while Democrats supported the bipartisan governance aim. Police chief Mueller sought an ordinance to establish a bipartisan force, prompting debate and a tied vote that Mayor broke with the ayes. The mayor then appointed a police board and the council approved all appointments unanimously. Dr. Leon B. Lake sought appointment as trustee of the Clara B. Eliott estate, with the will directing Lake as executor and trustee over a hospital building trust valued around thirty thousand dollars.
