Council members clash over engineering reports as the Pawtucket bridge repair order seeks 6000 dollars while the aldermen refuse a 55000 bid for a new span. Mayor and engineer reports are cited, with Henderson accusing political manipulation and urging open discussion before votes. The session includes oath for John J. Pinder and adjournment after routine petitions.

City urged to cut 15 cent fare to Lowell line
The Lawrence Tribune argues the 15 cent fare between Lawrence and Lowell is excessive given similar routes and distances to Haverhill. It notes both lines share management, the Lowell line carries more passengers, and time and payroll costs are similar, urging officials to reduce the fare to align with the 10 cent rate to Haverhill.
