No Increase in Fire Dept Personnel Contested
Mayor Joseph Q Petro said the city would probably not increase fire department personnel this year due to finances. Critics noted the state law cuts two weeks of vacation, lowering manpower by three. Council committees reported no recommendation given restricted finances and left the matter to the board of control. Council approved an amendment to sick leave requiring no musician’s certificate for city employees, leaving doctor’s certificates to department heads. Frank Henke opposed, arguing a physician’s certificate should be required.
