City Council Loss Delays Parkman Fund Irrigation Plan
The Boston Common and Public Garden irrigation project, funded by the Parkman bequest, loses a $60 000 appropriation when a no quorum adjournment halts action. Calendar year interpretation of the bequest means the money cannot be used this year, delaying soil rejuvenation plans for the Common and Garden. The council also shifts Central Square area funds to public buildings for a new courthouse and police station, and reallocates $35 000 for Bathhouse improvements at L Street with sun house additions planned.
