Brookline Gas Pipe Digging Dispute Reaches Court
A Boston dispute centers on whether the Brookline Gas Light Company may lay pipes in city streets only with consent of the Board of Aldermen or if Mayor executive action can suffice. Judge Lowell rules that Charter and statute require Aldermanic consent, limiting the superintendent of streets. The Mayor’s veto and a forthcoming Supreme Court review raise questions of municipal hierarchy and highway control.

THAT BERNARD CASE Trial proceeds over securities and duress claim
Spectators filled the morning audience on day two of Leon Bernard of Belgium v Lee Higginson & Co as arguments questioned whether the Belgian decree and a foreign ruling could shield the bankers from liability. The defense argued no conversion occurred as securities were given to a court custodian, not a private holder, and the judge said he would decide later.
