Billingsley Elected Council President Amid Reorganization Talks
James H. Billingsley won the council presidency with solid Republican support after Harry Haldeman’s resignation. A caucus beforehand signaled his election, aided by new member Spray’s anticipated vote. Eppert proposed amending rules to allow the president to reorganize all committees, a power Billingsley would gain, while some members viewed the move as advancement for him. The council also passed ordinances on market vendors and hot water service in the Walnut Street block, with Democratic opposition from Warnek and most colleagues except Shea.

The forecast calls for snow flurries and cooler temperatures today but ends rain as conditions improve by morning.

Temperatures fell from 48 degrees last night as a west wind drove the mercury down, and officials expect further cooling before a potential midweek improvement as Rocky Mountain clear weather approaches.
