No Interference as Aldermen Balk Dyar on Union Station
The Board of Aldermen discussed a proposed southern union station and Memorial Day appropriations with eight to three voting against Alderman Dyar's order to urge the legislature to modify the charter for the terminal company. Mayor Quincy issued two vetoes, one on telephone poles and another on a Pacific Tea shelf projection, with the latter sustained. Aldermen criticized lawmakers as cowardly while debating the large charter changes and the city’s right to land and armory use.
