Boundary Change Debate to Annex Part of Brookline to Boston

The Towns Committee held a morning session in the Blue Room hearing petitions and remonstrances over annexing a Brookline portion to Boston to connect the Nineteenth Ward with the city.

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. No opposition appeared, making a favorable committee report likely.
