Mayor Peters Defers Statement on Soldier Billeting in Boston
Mayor Peters returns from New York and defers a definite plan on billeting returned 26th Infantry soldiers in Boston homes and public buildings until details are presented. City counsel Alexander Whiteside says the matter will be fully considered when General Edwards’ proposal reaches the committee. Whiteside notes billeting in private homes is novel and would rely on voluntary offerings, with questions about scope and the number of houses remaining open, while public buildings would be a separate, simpler matter.
