Mayor O'Brien Credited For Boston Tax Relief Efforts

The text praises Mayor O'Brien for fighting for lower taxes and sound tax laws in Boston while criticizing Republicans who opposed his tax limits. It recounts him urging the aldermen to petition the Legislature in 1879 and 1881 to cap municipal expenditures, citing parallels with New York and asserting his aim to keep annual taxation under 15 dollars per 1000 and ideally at 5. The piece credits O'Brien with lightening taxpayers' burden and denounces Republican efforts to divert credit.
