Lowell City Council Faces Revelations Of City Work Claims
The Lowell aldermen held a special 4 PM session to review juror draws and hear a minority report accusing Edward D Murphy of bills for work on Carter Street School that city employees may have performed. The committee urged further inquiry and named two aldermen to pursue papers with the city solicitor. A related order called for a joint inquiry into a July 1898 payment and receipt of funds for school repairs. The meeting also discussed street name duplications and requested reports on street lighting and appropriations as snow curtails city projects.
