Harvard Square tax case shows steady handling by Bancroft
In Cambridge hearings on tax values before county commissioners, Hugh Bancroft earns praise for calm, precise questioning of witnesses. Charles Thurston and Ex-Mayor McNamee faced tough testimony as Durant of the Cambridge water board attempted to twist statements. The piece notes political maneuvering around council rules and budget pressures, especially wage hikes for offal wagon drivers, likely delayed until a new Democratic administration.

Ex mayor John H. H. McNamee testified before Middlesex county commissioners at the Cambridge tax cases about land values and potential dormitory development.
