Budget Defeated by Tie Vote in City Council
The proposed 1912 city budget of 1 200 503 dollars failed on a 6 to 6 tie as Aldermen Lambert and the insurgents clashed with regulars over appropriations. A "bob tail" budget without an appropriation clause was advanced for second reading, while calls for resignations and further budget battles were noted.
