Strong opposition to Court Street name change to State Street
At a Boston hearing, businessmen on Court Street rallied against renaming the Court Street portion between Washington and Scollay Square as State Street. Opponents cited $76,000 spent advertising the Court Street number and warned of renumbering chaos, while supporters argued city and property values would rise. The Board of Street Commissioners took the matter under advisement amid potential appeals and mayoral veto.
