Deadlock in council over building commissioner row
Mayor Frisbie gains temporary victory as council fails to sustain 22 appeals against his move to declare the office vacant and appoint E A Pickworth in Edward Mahnke's place. The vote on the overrule motion ends as a tie, with Manning and Feisner opposing the mayor and Link, Ogle, and others supporting. The dispute centers on legality and interpretation of appointing Mahnke and examination requirements.
