Rodrigues Bill Killed as Senate Refuses Boston Payment
The Senate rejected a district aldermanic bill by 15 to 12 that would have let Boston pay the late Colonel Frederick Bogan’s heirs the money due him as superintendent of public buildings. Key speakers argued constitutional grounds and the principle of paying only for services rendered. The measure failed to receive a third reading, while related bills moved forward in the session.
