City Board Debates Appointments and Budget in Stormy Session

The city board of aldermen held a lengthy meeting despite bad weather with strong attendance. The mayor proposed paying a $27,789.42 bill tied to the Charles River dam by issuing $30,000 in bonds. Several appointments were confirmed, including inspector of milk and vinegar Philip D. Sharples, superintendent of public buildings Thomas I. Tracy, and city physician Dr William G Brosseau. A vote on the chief of police appointment drew protests and a gallery outcry. The board also discussed pole locations for New England Telephone and Cambridge Electric Light, budget amendments, and several petitions and committee referrals.
