The Milton water issue resurfaced in the House via A A Brackett seeking repeal of Milton and Brush Hill Water Company charters so Milton can run its own system. Mr Leahy of Boston moved to replace an adverse public lighting report with a Breslin petition to bar gas deposit from consumers. the motion failed and the adverse report stood. Mr Hayes of Boston referred his bid for mayor by direct vote to the next General Court.
