City Council Probes City Convention Travel Costs
City authorities debated funding for Fire Chief Mariotte to attend the national fire fighters convention in Cincinnati and considered subsidizing or restricting travel for fire commission members. A motion for Bickhaus to receive $50 was replaced by a plan to cover his railroad fare, while other commission members were not granted travel authorization. The council also granted City Clerk Schroer a one week vacation to attend the event and ordered updated private vaults and sidewalks within a defined district.
