Monday Night Council Meeting Deliberates Street Work and Appeals
The Monday session in the city council discussed blocking modifications at East First Street and Indians Avenue, with the electric night committee to review. Petitions included tapping south Meridian sewer to drain downspouts, erecting a brick building on South Street, and using sidewalk space for church construction materials. The fire and police unions pressed for wage increases, backed by merchants. Plans for Grand Avenue concrete improvements and crosswalks were debated, with bids for sidewalk work discussed and bids for two new electric plant boilers opened and awarded to O'Donnell Barrows Cochran.

It cites Clarence Dunham ingham and Edward Hines as figures in the controversy and mentions a suggested payoff scheme to secure a Senate seat. The piece includes Funk of International Harvester testimony denying direct political dealings while acknowledging general business influence.
