Aldermen reject major city settlement after heated debate
The Board of Aldermen rejected the city solicitor settlement of the Worthingtons claim against Boston for up to 20200, following an animated session. Arguments centered on loss figures from pump construction and model creation, with Alderman Reed supporting equity while Carruth pressed for detailed itemized figures before voting. The vote denied the compromise and sustained the veto on a separate pole-attachment order.
