Born in the city and educated at public schools, Harvard College, and Harvard Law School, Nelligan announces his candidacy for mayor. He notes twenty two years in city government and twelve years as City Solicitor, pledging sound economical administration.
A three hour meeting of the school committee included a City Solicitor opinion deeming library staff assignments to school libraries illegal and restricting use of school funds for library workers. The mayor proposed transferring funds and the panel voted to allow exhibits for display in the new Rindge School.
Wires report the resignation of Joe Coyne from the mayoral staff amid questions of motive and timing. The piece hints at council friction, possible salary moves, and public reaction as observers ponder the impact on executive power and local governance.
The Rindge school issue splits on whether students should pursue one special study or multiple paths. A local leader’s straw hat spotlights trends as reporters probe vendors and city numbers. The public is reminded that the school department line is PORter 4500, with UNI 6800 for city hall, as Memorial Day weekend approaches and stores stay open.
The council debated confirming William J. Shea as city treasurer for the term ending May 21. Councillor Shea, his brother, spoke against the nomination citing family turmoil and alleged insults by the mayor, while others urged approval. A vote result showed seven in favor and six against with Leahy to seek reconsideration next week. The mayor also sought a $20 000 appropriation for architect fees for a new fire house and a zoning matter on 527 Concord avenue was referred back to ordinances.
