Mayor Gessow Faces Political Attacks Over Prize Fights
Lynn mayor says political animus and personal malice drive the resolutions against him as prize fights are staged under a license granted earlier in the year. He notes the license was issued under a misapprehension and cites a March or April action by the license committee to demand decency in posters and threaten license revocation. Aldermen defend the committee, while local figures, including Moxie and the Kirtland Club, comment on boxing shows and public perception.
