The Templar Holiday Proclaimed for Boston Parade Day
The Post's suggestion to make Tuesday August 27 a general holiday in Boston for the Knights Templars parade has quick approval.

The Mayor and executive heads back the plan and many business houses will close to let employees enjoy the event. Only essential financial institutions may remain open. The broad support for the idea is very gratifying.
