Boston City Council Debates Fire Dept Veto and Pneumatic Tube Order
After a two month recess the Common Council met last night and sustained Mayor Quincy's veto of the fire department inquiry order. The council condemned the Aldermen for approving a private Pneumatic Tube Company dig in forty streets and rejected a 257000 loan bill. A fire department investigation into Mary O Brien's death at Charlestown was urged. The vote on funding for a new city voter register passed 23 to 22. The council split along party lines on several measures amid criticisms of Fire Commissioner Russell and the mayor.
