Court confirms mayor’s appointing power under Lowell charter
The Supreme Court rules Mayor Courtney had authority to appoint Richard Bray as superintendent of public buildings, nullifying the City Council’s attempt to appoint Charles Varnum. The decision interprets the 1896 charter amendment as expanding the mayor’s executive powers and reducing council authority in such appointments. Bray’s Jan. 4 appointment is valid. Varnum’s Jan. 5 appointment by the old council is invalid.
