Boston legislative government is reorganized.

The new city charter replaces the 13-member Board of Aldermen and 75-member Boston Common Council with a nine-member City Council elected at-large, with three members elected every year to three-year terms. At the time, according to one newspaper, “The Boston Common Council consists of] incompetents and nobodies, with a mixture of convicts and notorious grafters.” The council is reorganized in 1924.*
