Somerville Park Hearing Backed by Committee
The Committee on Mercantile Affairs held a hearing on a petition to authorize a public park in Somerville. Fourteen acres bound by Mt Benedict Winter Hill Broadway and Mystic Avenue were outlined with an estimated cost of 75000 for land and another 75000 for grading. Mayor Furber and ex-Mayor Brastow spoke in favor, urging no save to the people and favoring city council decision over a public vote.
