Boston Council Debate Over Library and Hospital Funding
The Boston City Council debated a $130,000 library site purchase and $170,000 for a central heating plant. Councillor Watson urged delaying, arguing aid for convalescent care at City Hospital is urgent while defending library plans. A heated exchange with Councillor Hagan followed as finance committee explanations were challenged. An amendment to the order passed for second reading. An additional $10,000 for a Grove Hall convenience station was sent to the finance committee.
