Testimony Heard Before Commissioner Curry in Howe Case
Testimony before Commissioner William Curry on Thomas B. Howe petition to restrain city solicitor from withdrawing exceptions to the Stowers award. Deputy Controller Hartley testified the city's debt is 412,100.45, with other witnesses present. Argument set for Jan 22. Howe claims debt limit exceeded, while the city contends a margin remains after park bond issues. Vosburg argues the proceedings are irregular as exceptions were withdrawn by the party offering them. Howe may lack standing.
