NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
NO LODGINGS FOR TRAMPS. 
Manchester Can’t Harbor Any More 
of the Weary Travelers Unless a 
Bath Room and Clean Night 
Dress Are Provided. 
Tramps can be given lodgings at 
the Manchester police station, here- 
after, if the new tramp law is car- 
ried out, and if any are put up over 
night they must be sent to the state 
poor farm. 
Joseph E. Shaw, chief of the 
Mass. District Police, has just sent 
out circulars to all the town and 
city officials in the state bearing on 
the new statutes relative to “lodg- 
ings of tramps and vagrants by 
cities and towns,” and Selectman 
Swett received one of those circu- 
lars a week ago today. The exact 
wording of the law is: 
“Cities and towns which provide 
lodging for tramps and vagrants 
shall require them, if physically 
able, to perform labor of some kind 
in return for their lodging and for 
food furnished them, and the places 
in which such persons are lodged 
shall be kept in such order and con- 
dition as may be prescribed by the 
state board of health.” 
Among the conditions prescribed 
are these: 
‘No person shall be allowed to go 
to bed without first having a full 
bath.” 
“Each person shall be provided 
with a clean night dress.” 
“Not less than 300 cu. ft. of space 
shall be allowed for each person.” 
The tramp problem has long been 
one that has proved a great menace 
tc the country, and especially to 
this section of New England. The 
new statutes will be effective in 
doing away with tramps, as only a 
few places can give lodgings under 
the new law’ Beverly, Gloucester 
and Salem must keep closed doors. 
In a pamphlet issued by the Mass. 
Civic League on “The Tramp Prob- 
lem,” the writer says: 
“The town that cannot aiford to 
carry on a decent lodging house 
with work has not the moral right, 
and now has no longer the legal 
right, to foster the tramp nuisance 
by carrying on any lodging house 
at all. In such a case the proper 
resort is prosecution.” 
Here’s for Shaw. 
In the third Essex senatorial dis- 
trict there is a lively contest for 
the Republican nomination for sen- 
ator. The leading candidate is 
James F. Shaw of Manchester, well 
25 
known here as he is throughout the 
state. Mr. Shaw’s’ extraordinary 
success in his immense business en- 
terprises indicate the ability of the 
man, and the people of the third 
Essex district will do well to secure 
his valuable services as their repre- 
sentative in the upper house of the 
state legislature. 
The fact that the state tax is 
mounting to such an extent as to 
become a burden to towns of mod- 
erate wealth, would seem to call for 
more able business men in the halls 
of legislation, to transact the busi- 
ness of the state, and men of the 
calibre of Mr. Shaw are needed. 
The voters of the Essex district 
will serve the broader interests of 
the whole state by sending to the 
senate a man whose “anusual gifts 
will be exerted for the conservation 
of the business interests of the 
state.-—Norwood Sentinel.
