Republicans Block Wood's Loan Order in Alderman Meeting
In the Board of Aldermen vote on a $30,000 loan for a Parker Hill firehouse and a nearby playground, five Republicans opposed it, denying the two thirds required. Alderman Woods deferred the order to the next meeting, while Democrats supported it. Multiple disputes involved East Boston figures Alderman Leary Battis and Tom Doherty over playground improvements and pending orders. An amended pier head project at Marine Park passed 9 to 3, and Marcella Street improvements were approved 4 to 3. The teamsters strike debate led to a committee referral and a police inquiry on armed strikebreakers. Flanagan again supported the mayor's veto on sidewalk abatements.
