City moves to remove Cogswell fountain from public view
A city board of aldermen passed an order to stop advertising the Cogswell fountain after October first. The piece notes the decree’s peremptory tone and suggests that art reform could extend to lifting other public statues onto the same cart. The commentary also covers legal maneuvers in a bribery case and broader notes on English yacht racing, jail reform, fisheries disputes, and a shipping bill amendment pending settlement with Canada. The piece emphasizes public opinion and legal procedure, linking local acts to broader political and international issues.
