Governor Eyes Harbor and Land Board and Licensing Post
Senator Mack from North Adams is named as a strong possibility for a seat on the Harbor and Land Board while Senator Williams from Dedham is discussed for a board spot and the governor aims to appoint Williams to the Harbor and Land Board soon. Attorney-General Boynton says the old board may hold over until new members are named and the governor wants decisions settled quickly to begin work before fall. A licensing commissioner position attracts several candidates including ex-police chief Charles Curtis ex-Surveyor Jeremiah J. McCarthy ex-Senators Morse Montague Lane and ex-Representative Crocker, with the governor stating the post will go to a Republican. The governor was at West Barnstable for field artillery maneuvers yesterday. The Public Service Commission heard Boston and Maine's request to cut gate tenders by allowing one guard to cover two crossings, opposed by James F. Jackson for Bay State and by Senator Dean for Wakefield. Labor costs show lobby expenses totaling 516 dollars last year with 68 dollars to John Weaver Sherman and 448 dollars to Henry Sterling.
