Mayor proposes new city building on old registry site

The mayor seeks to use funds for a building from Tremont Street to Court Square beside Kings Chapel burying ground. It would house the second police division officers, police headquarters, and city departments not covered by the City hall annex.

The mayor also urges large salary increases for the Board of Street Commissioners, aiming to raise the chairman from 4500 to 6500 and other members from 4000 to 5000 yearly. The council adjourned to meet again tomorrow.
