Fraud Charged In Aldermanic Carriage Bills
A Boston inquiry shows Aldermen have spent about $9,181.50 on carriage hires through Aug 1 with seven months remaining, potentially reaching $15,739.80 for the year. Bowen leads in rides followed by Doyle. Slattery low, and five members account for most of the totals. Reports say carriages are used for Sundays, funerals, weddings, and political work despite laws requiring committee use and signed affidavits.
