Albany Lease Debate Dominates House Session
Boston July 3 The House debated the Albany lease bill with most speakers opposing ratification. Leading opponent was Mr Saunders of Boston while Mr Schofield of Malden delivered a strong proponent speech to applause. Bennett of Saugus and Howland of Chelsea also spoke against it, as Turtle of the rail roads committee defended the measure. The report on Metropolitan water board charges likely will not be ready before Thursday due to Senator Post’s absence. The judiciary joint panel heard Borofsky ice bill testimony as ice dealers offered five cents if the bill’s withdrawal, a proposal Borofsky declined. Executive council named Sumner D York of Rockport as Gloucester district court judge and Carl H Parsons as clerk. Parsons is former clerk of the abolished police court, York previously served as its clerk and later as assistant district attorney with District Attorney White.
