A mayor takes the oath of office

On Jan. 6, 1964, John Collins took the oath of office for his second term as mayor of Boston in a ceremony at Symphony Hall, as shown in this photo from the Boston City Archives. That's Cardinal Richard Cushing in the center. Anybody know who was swearing Collins in?

Made me look
Der Glob carried several (surprisingly brief) articles. To your question, that would be the SJC Chief Justice Raymond S. Wilkins.
The real news was not surprising. The lege had stiffed municipalities and was refusing to add even a temp sales tax to keep them afloat. The mayor's address was an act of fulmination and fustigation. Over a dozen other mayors joined Collins in charges and pleas.
I notice also that "all three commercial television channels" plus several radio stations would carry the address live.
Stand while taking the oath, dammit!
I jest, of course, as Mayor Collins proved that being taken down by polio by no means meant being taken down from living.
