Some event, perhaps to be ascribed to a VOL actor, appears to be missing from the newspaper's sequence, just my impression.
Was there an unreported occurrence, or contact, that took place between Schroeder's seemingly favorable conversation with Sojka in August, and the Mayor's discussion, seemingly in in mid-September, with a representative of CSEA Local 815?
Does the Mayor normally give work orders directly to DPW union personnel, or does the Mayor usually pass his request on to the DPW Superintendent for disposition?
Is not the DPW Superintendent William Cansdale?
