Mayor veto blocks coal contract for city fire dept
Mayor Banderob vetoes the common council action awarding a contract to a Chicago coal firm to supply 100 tons of soft coal for the city fire department. He lists three reasons: favor local bidders, bid differences in coal types, and potential lower bids after re advertising. Local firms argued they could match Chicago bid at a saving of about twenty five cents per ton.
