Supreme Court Backs Anti Socialist in Monument Street Case
In Haverhill on August 9 the Salem decision of Justice Loring favored the anti Socialist side in the Monument street schoolhouse dispute between city council factions over day labor versus contract work. The ruling grants mandamus to recognize the anti Socialist committee as the legal body to build the schoolhouse, ordering the Socialist committee to desist. The case centers on bids, construction control, and whether the city pays for work already done under an illegally appointed committee, with the building valued at about $9,000.
