City Board Passes Multiple Budget and Street Plans
In a quiet session the Cambridge board approved a 5000 grant for a Ward 10 engine house, a 500000 conduit project from Hobbs Brook, and a 500000 water loan for three years. They also budgeted 800 for transportation of Co. C to the shooting range and sidewalk levies for local properties on Brown Street. Debates centered on labor for the Hobbs Brook conduit, with aldermen arguing for citizen labor and mayoral control of the fire department. A resolution urged using citizen labor where practical, and a standing vote on suspending rules for the conduit contract failed. The panel also covered widening Brown Street and related property concerns, while noting a major whist event hosted by the Catholic Union.
