Battle over Winthrop sea wall bill stirs cross-town politics
The Boston Globe condemns Senator Grainger for killing a reimbursement bill for Winthrop’s sea wall after voting against the Boston teachers’ salary measure. Critics say the move boils down to petty politics harming Winthrop while a separate $500 study for parkway connections faces reconsideration.
Teachers Challenge Veto in Salary Fight
Boston teachers press for higher pay despite governor's veto. They fault Senator Grainger for blocking the bill while hinting at support from Senator Mulligan and his wife, Mrs Mulligan, in political show of solidarity. The effort to pass the measure over the veto failed in the senate.

Lively Pilgrim Things Stir Winthrop Streets and Notices
The Pilgrim Things were lively on Winthrop Beach Road when a five dollar bill was found. A passing employee questioned a woman who appeared foreign born as she snatched the bill saying she would have given a dime if the finder returned it. A minister spoke of heroism and the future, and local schools printed graduation exercises in the high school manual training room. The town repaired roads and legislative concerns about telephone disturbances. An upcoming sports meet at Brown's drug store lists events with entry details and closing date.
