Council Deadlock Halts City Budget for 1918
The Common Council spent hours in a split session unable to pass the 1918 city budget. Eight votes are needed to approve appropriations, but only seven have been available, with one member switching sides on police staffing. The health department end, including Memorial Hospital, failed as the sanitary inspector's fate blocked funds. The budget was reintroduced for another meeting, as Mayor Ward insists on keeping the police alarm system.
