Mayor demands repairs after bad conduit paving
Mayor O'Brien tells Street Superintendent McDonald that Washington and Tremont streets are in poor condition after last fall's conduit work. He urges holding the permittees financially responsible and warns of a costly city repaving if not corrected. Washington Street may be repaved between State Street and Temple Place at $100,000 with Tremont Street work possibly in this year's funds.

Boston City Bonds Taxation Debate Plays Out in NYC Claim
In New York a claim arose that city bonds could be borrowed at a cheaper rate than Boston. The Boston Finance Department met in the Mayor's office to discuss the issue. Mayor said Boston taxes on loans are lower than New York. City Treasurer Alfred T. Turner argued Boston pays virtually no tax on its loans and kept bondholder lists sacred. He urged an act to exempt municipal bonds from taxation, but counsel doubted legality and noted towns lack constitutional power to exempt manufacturing firms for ten years.
