Burgess Likely to Head Aldermanic Board in Haskell Era
Alderman Alexander Burgess Jr. of Ward 3 is set to be president of the Board of Aldermen under Mayor elect Robert Haskell. He would be the board’s veteran member, entering a third consecutive year. Rumors place Ward 7’s Frank Dunton W Percy Marks and John Newell as contenders for the presidency. Other floated names include Walter Day and David Mullin for various posts as well as ex Alderman Leslie Wald for the Board of Assessors. In other moves, Joseph Butler is expected to seek city marshal reelection alongside Langdon Green. C Leroy Hutchins may face William Kittridge or Carl Stinson for messenger. John Gilmore’s reelection as City Clerk seems assured, with Donald Young as City Treasurer also in prospect. In a separate Essex County case, Judge Daniel Crowley lost a $6000 damages suit after a Massachusetts court found him illegally operating in the state on the day of a Newburyport turnpike crash. Simeon Young was cleared of liability, while Crowley’s counterclaim was dismissed.
