Street Commissioner Dueling Candidates in City Council

The council faces two nominees for street commissioner and city engineer. K L Innis, a competent civil engineer, seeks the post at 602 dollars monthly.

The issue delays charter reform and sparks cross party clashes. Other items note a Fulton rally with 15,000 attendees and broader reformist sentiment, a New York independent gentlemen meeting, a deadly race conflict in Louisiana, the Maguire and McKee sentences, and the Kansas City newspaper’s suspension.
