City Board Debates Labor Pay and City Laborers Authority
At a recent aldermen meeting the lamps committee found the city lacks power to raise lamp department wages, as city employees fall under department heads. Aldermen pressed for a Saturday half holiday order, while Chairmen sought more time. A revised motion to request department heads to grant the break echoed the original intent, sparking debate on authority and political signaling amid laborer concerns. The South Boston Railroad petition to access Broadway extensions drew strong opposition from Metropolitan Railroad, with both sides presenting long histories of track rights and public convenience. Multiple rail and street railway petitions were referred or passed, including new ferry boat funding considerations and police headquarters occupancy petitions near Beacon Street.
