South Boston Meeting Ends in Clash Over Public Office
Intense excitement marked a South Boston Citizens' Association gathering at Gray's Hall as Senator M J Sullivan left after challenging the association’s right to praise public officials. Ex-Representative William Kells and others debated votes of thanks for Governor for widening Dorchester street, while Sullivan pressed to deny any commendation from public office. The confusion culminated in Sullivan leaving as officers sought order amid further remarks from Kells and a report from Samuel Johnson on local school ground repairs.
