The column rails at the Cambridge board and park system, blaming G Howland Cox for alleged incompetence and political strategies. It cites mismanaged bulkhead work costing over 20 thousand dollars, a failed Colonial Club Annex effort, a suspicious board manual project costing about 400 dollars, and hints at partisan maneuvering around mayoral nominations and street committee dealings.
