Boston's Honest Mayor Faces Unpopularity
Boston March 12 An honest mayor has kept Boston from the worst city hall scandal seen in Minneapolis and St Louis yet Mayor Collins remains highly unpopular among residents. He aligned with reformers calling for cleaning out corrupt officials while facing uproar over padded payrolls nearing a million dollars monthly and large carriage bills. Nine firms tied to these costs are missing, and ward-heeler grants supported political schemes. The arrest of Thomas F Curley and Jap Curley a year ago sparked further comment as they sit in city offices amid ongoing controversy.
