President Rudolph Jose heads a committee with district officials to push for harsher sentences and end joy riding, citing parolees reoffending. A second committee seeks a venue for an automobile show next fall, with Liberty Hut mentioned as a target site.

Firefighters threaten strike over pay parity with police
District firemen backed by the City Fire Fighters Union warn the department could break down if commissioners do not grant salary increases aligned with policemen. They seek at least a $5 day minimum and note stipends have stagnated since 1906 while town rivals pay higher rates. They promise to press Congress and appeal to citizens as pressure mounts on Commissioners Brownlow and the reclassification commission.
