Government of the
Ordinance Adopted for Police and Contingent Funds
City Council passes an ordinance approving 652.20 for the Police and Jail Fund and 80 for the Contingent Fund at a special session called by Mayor Ernest W. Rawth. Five members vote yes, two absent. The measure allows payment to Police Department members for the remainder of the year including a 13 shortfall in November due to depleted funds. If no new ordinance is framed, a 16 monthly raise for police will not meet 1915 needs, risking another shortfall at year end.
