In a light meeting the Board of Aldermen rejected a Republican petition to use city ballot boxes at caucuses with moving costs. Debate touched on extending the privilege to Democrats but failed. The mayor reappointed Dr. Charles Harrington as milk inspector and discussed aging bridges. The board considered theatre licenses, free passes, and a $1000 fee proposal, then ordered talks with managers. Budget transfers, a new Charlestown park, and plans to dredge the Charles River were approved, with several environment and infrastructure items referred to committee.
