Mayor John ]. Fitzgerald of Boston,
Wednesday, communicated with Coy.
Foss, Wednesday. asking his assist
ance toward action at this session of
the Legislature looking to the preven-
ton of building accidents such as have
occurred in Boston several times since
last October. The mayor said the city
had done everything in its authority
and now expected the state to act.
Since October, according to the may
or's letter, there have been seven ae-
cidents i'm which Ia persons have been
killed and 10 injured. The mayor does
not blame the building department of
the city, saying the evil lies too deep
to be removed by any system of in
spection. Mayor Fitzgerald believes
that contractors should be registered,
but would have the Legislature pass
an act which he transmitted, giving
to the city council to make
such amendments TO it's ordinances as
may be deemed necessary.
