Boston City Officials Clash Over Removal and Corruption Claims
A long statement alleges falsehoods by a city architect and accuses Mayor Matthews of seeking removal to seize control of the department. The speaker recounts meetings on March 21 and February 4, notes private notes from F. W. Kittreage, and names several political figures and previous public roles. The document critiques alleged political bargaining, cites school construction cost figures, and lists officials tied to park and public institutions, with the piece framing a vendetta against the speaker and outlining political tensions in Boston.
