Boston Common Council Floors Freighted Battle Over City Printing Plant
The Boston Common Council convened in a terse session marked by party line votes as Democrats fled the chamber amid debates on selling the city printing plant, approving a $1500 sale price, while Republicans pressed for a cash sale and broader control. Tensions ran high over school repairs funds, with a party line vote directing $175,000 under school committee oversight amid accusations of incompetence by some members. A nurse’s home project at Harrison and Massachusetts avenues and a broad plea from Daughters of the American Revolution to protect Faneuil Hall were also acted on, with bonds for Southern Union Station and school construction funding routed to finance committees.
