Bus Issue in City Council Debate on Transit Reforms

Alderman Geltz attacked private interests and concessions while Alderman Puckie submitted petitions urging changes to pay-as-you-enter and rear-door boarding and a 12 minute schedule. Mayor Wadlow pressed for facts, and Sears parking concerns sparked discussion on angle parking and curb space as City Engineer Abraham prepared to study the matter.

Jail Committee Denies Painting Motive in Prison Inquiry
A letter from Louis E. Walter, chairman of the County Jail Committee, defends the panel against claims it proposed only painting as a solution. He asserts bids and board approval were steps to comply with rules, notes lack of sheriff inspections, urges ventilation changes, and criticizes unfair accusations while promising full consideration of recommendations. A later editor's note announces a Madison County Jail inspection by Alton Trades Council members aimed at publicizing jail condition reforms.
