Notes

  • Incumbents Thomas Crowley, Mayor Robert Maguire, John Cox and Raymond Gilbride did not win re-election.

  • Incumbent Edward Early did not seek re-election (he had been elected state representative).

  • "Initial heavy voting was cut somewhat by rain later in the day, but 29,343 voters still cast ballots in the election."

  • "The final vote tabulation was completed about 5:30 a.m., an amazing job by election workers, considering the extremely lengthy ballot."

  • Richard Howe was elected mayor on the fifth ballot with the votes of Paul Tsongas, Brendan Fleming, Philip Shea, Leo Farley and himself, defeating Armand LeMay.

  • City Manager Charles Gallagher retired in August 1970.  He was replaced by James Sullivan, former city manager of Cambridge.

  • The school committee consisted of new-comers Ernest Herrman and Paul Robinson and incumbents William Collins, George Kouloheras, Clement McDonough, and Victor Forsley.

  • Incumbent school committee member Thomas Sullivan failed to be re-elected.
