Brooklyn Today
Good morning, Brooklyn. Today is the 237th day of the year.
ON THIS DAY in 1925, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Hylan Accuses Primary Foes of Paying Bribes.” The article focused on the then-Mayor Hylan who accused mayoral candidate Frank D. Waterman for paying bribes.
“‘Everybody knows that Waterman, like Walker, is a part of the traction combination to get control of the city government,’” said a statement from Hylan, the Eagle reported.
