VOLUME 3. NUMBER 8 
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1906. 
HE work of Charles S. Hanks, 
one of our former residents, in 
collecting statistics and gaining other 
valuable information on railroads and 
railroad rebates, which matter is now 
before Congress, was very warmly 
complimented from the floor of the 
House of Representatives, recently, 
in a speech on the railroad rate bill by 
the Hon. John J. Esch of Wisconsin. 
He said: 
‘‘ In order to show the necessity of 
publicity of railway accounts and of 
railway management I shall append 
and make a part of my remarks a 
statemcnt prepared by Hon. Charles 
S. Hanks, of Boston, assisted by 
George W.R. Harriman, an engineer 
of large experience, of the same city. 
These gentlemen, after months of la- 
bor and with access to all Government 
statistics relating to railways, have 
come to the conclusion that it would 
be possible to make a uniform reduc- 
tion of 10 per cent. on railway rates, 
fares, and charges throughout the 
country without such reduction inter- 
fering in any way with the present 
rate of dividends on stocks, interest 
on bonds, or wages of railway em- 
ployees.”’ 
The North Shore BREEZE is now 
well settled in its new home at. the 
corner of Rantoul and Wallis streets. 
That enterprising paper has won a 
warm heart among the summer peo-

Grand Army Man, Keeper of Manchester 
Almshouse Passed Away Yesterday 
Morning 
William Henry Haskell, keeper of 
the Manchester almshouse for almost 
18 years, passed away yesterday morn- 
ing at the age of 74 years, 10 mos., 
22 dys. He had been in failing health 
the past year and a half, and for the 
past fortnight the end has been 
looked for at almost any minute. 
Death was due to heart trouble and 
old age. 
Mr. Haskell was born March 29, 
1831, at West -Gloucester. He 
worked asa young man ata ship yard 
in Essex. May 18, 1859, he married 
Abbie L. Lucas of Manchester, and 
two years after this when the call was 
given to go to the front he enlisted on 
Nov. 28, 1861, from Manchester to 
serve three years, or during the war. 
He was mustered in at Readville and 
served as a privatein John T. Prince’s 
company, 24th Mass. Volunteer In- 
fantry. 
His war record was a most meritori- 
ous one. He took part in the battles 
of Roanoke, Newbern, Kingston, 
Goldsborough and Little Washington, 
N.C. The following abstract sent 
out by the Soldiers and Sailors’ Ben- 
evolent society, Washington, last sum- 
mer, speaks thus of his career : 
“The said William H. Haskell was 
-always to be found at his post of duty 
in all battles and bore a faithful and 
loyal part in all battles and operations 
of his regiment. On January, 1863, 
his back was severely injured while he 
was engaged in the duty of discharg- 
ing commissory stores at Newbern, 
N.C., from. a transport to which he 
had been detailed. He received an 
honorable discharge at Newbern, 
N.C., May 28, 1863, by reason of sur- 
geon’s certificate of disability caused 
by injuries, having achieved a gallant 
record of meritorious service and sol- 
dierly conduct at all times. His wife’s 
two brothers, John and Robert Lucas 
both served with honor in the Union 
army during the Civil war.” 
After returning from the war he 
worked at various occupations ‘about
