Debating License Fees and City Work at Yesterday’s Council
Aldermen debated license fees with amendments up to $75, $100 and $200 while police and Bridewell costs drove arguments. A large reading of minutes, petitions, and street projects followed, including sidewalks on Joliet and crosswalks on Chicago, with reports on sewers, taxes, and the annual fire department review.
