Boards of Trade Back the Mayor in Boston Plan
The Boston Associated Board of Trade backing Mayor Fitzgerald urged a metropolitan council, revised semicolon and screen laws, and schoolhouse law changes. It opposed municipal gas and electric ownership and called for a commission to review these laws. Osborne Howes warned Boston’s fire force needs more men and opposed current five day off rule. A Dedham breach of promise case revealed testimonies and letters detailing a 1905 relationship and paternity questions.
