Letter to the Editor on Boston court house proposal

A letter criticizes the commission and mayor over court house plans. The writer argues the commissioners would not approve their recommendations if paying the bills, accuses the mayor of backing a costly reservoir location, and claims two commission members preferred Pemberton square. The writer contends $1 750 000 is insufficient and disputes economy claims. The piece asserts relocating the criminal court to jail land would cost under 300 000 and questions lawyers’ motives, noting top Boston lawyers favor keeping the court house in its current site.
