Master to Hear Case on Adams Academy Property
Edmund D. Whitman named master to hear evidence and report findings in a case involving Adams Academy property. The attorney general admits facts and proposes redirecting the land to a similar charitable use after Adams founders donated it for a school completed in 1871. The Quincy site on Hancock Street is now unsuitable for schooling due to rail traffic and competition. Henry Adams of Washington joins as descendant party alongside local professionals and clergy in Quincy.
