Public Safety Committee Formed and Select Actions Adopted

It fixed first Monday monthly meetings and debated two ordinances: one to buy land at Brownsville and Arlington for a Thirty-first ward fire bureau site at $3,000, and another to locate and equip a fire engine company there. Officials clashed over price, authority, and building plans for a Thirty-sixth ward police station, with funding and bids a central point of contention.
