Trade With Railroad Favored By Commissioners
District officials support transferring a ground portion of Garfield Park and Canal Street to the Pennsylvania Railroad for a yard without requiring an overhead crossing. In exchange, the District would relinquish the disputed bridge, citing lower costs and future rail connections, while preserving the Can Street sidetrack to the navy yard and restoring street southwest between Sixth and Seventh streets.

Fireman's Double Pension Sparks Inquiry by Commissioner
Commissioner Macfarland questions how C F Ruffort secured a fire department post after receiving a United States disability pension two years earlier. Ruffort was repeatedly examined by police and fire surgeons from 1897 to 1900 and found physically fit, yet he served on sick leave since October. Chief Belt urged a pension of 29 dollars monthly, added to the federal pension, totaling 27 dollars. Macfarland approved but seeks an explanation from the surgeons about his admission.

Plea for Better Salaries From Board of Education to Commissioners
The board of education urges the District Commissioners to restore omitted items in the appropriation bill and to equitably raise teachers salaries. It argues half the pupils are government officials’ children, so half the school costs should fall on government. It warns current salaries lag behind other cities and hinder teacher retention, urging higher pay in both lower and higher grades. Estimates approved were cut from 2,104,000.15 to 1,445,734, a reduction of 458,266.15.
