Anna C. M. Tillinghast is sworn-in for her second four year term as district commissioner of immigration for the port of Boston in February 1931. Judge Harold Williams administers the oath. In 1933, Tillinghast was removed from office after two years into her second appointment because Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt had been elected president.
