Right to Ask Debated At First Council Meeting
At the first council meeting this year Alderman Bullivaht welcomed new member R C Black and re elected officials, and thanked ex Alderman Forster. The session mixed routine business with a dispute over the right to ask questions. Ald Watson pressed an inquiry into insurance on a building at the air field arguing tariff rates were higher with a low board company. McTombs admitted authorizing the insurance, Currie objected to individual action, and Currie urged councilwide rule changes. The debate culminated when McCombs proposed writing inquiries, supported by Watson and Simpson.
