Governor Guild proposes reform of Boston police and liquor control
Governor Guild urges separating police and excise duties in Boston.

Appointments would be by the Governor and council, reflecting two parties, and ideally by the Mayor. The plan seeks to curb the board’s absolute power and restore legal limits.
