Boston Council Advances Several Measures Amid Lively Debate
The Boston council approved a teacher pension act with only four votes against, despite fears of a $65 000 annual city expense and nonresident teachers benefiting. A health department consolidation proposal faced opposition and a substitute head of department position was adopted. The body also approved funding for public grounds, named part of Maverick square after late Alderman Doherty, and upheld a stand against Fire Commissioner Parker over widows’ laundry work preference. The mayor threatened a veto on the square naming.
