NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
UNIFORM LEGISLATION CONFERENCE. 
At Boston Next Week. Construction of Highways and Regulation of Automo- 
biles among Subjects to be Discussed. Manchester Man Selected by Gov. 
Guild as one of 32 Delegates to Represent the State. 
The First Conference for uniform 
legislation for New England will be held 
at the Tremont Theatre, Boston, on the 
afternoon of November 23rd and in the 
morning and afternoon of November 
24th. Except the few seats reserved for 
the official delegates, the entire theatre 
will be thrown open to the public, with 
free admission. It will be possible, 
therefore, for all citizens, and especially 
those interested in forestry and fruit rais- 
ing, the protection of fish, the construc- 
tion of highways and regulation of auto- 
mobiles, to listen without charge to pap- 
ers by the first experts in the United 
States on these respective subjects, as 
well as to a discussion of proposed legis- 
lation by the New England Senators, 
Congressman and special delegates se- 
lected by the Governors for that purpose. 
The first session, on Monday, No- 
vember 23rd, at 2 p. m., will be devoted 
to the tree planting. Gifford Pinchot 
will speak on the future of forest trees 
in New England. Mr. Pinchot is chief 
of the forestry service of the Department 
of Agriculture at Washington. The 
first systematic forest work ever under- 
taken in the United States was started by 
him at Biltmore, N. C., in 1892. 
The consideration of orchards in New 
England and the great opportunity that 
exists for fruit culture here will be treated 
by Prof. John Craig, who heads the de- 
partment of horticulture at Cornell 
University. 
The morning session of November 
24th will be entirely devoted to the pres- 
ervation and cultivation of shell-fish, now 
rapidly vanishing from the New England 
States. 
The third session will be opened at 
2 o'clock in the afternoon on November 
24th. The meeting will be devoted to 
highways and their use. The first paper 
will be read by Harold Parker, the chair- 
man of the Massachusetts Highway 
Commission. He will treat of the con- 
struction of highways. For eight years 
Mr. Parker has been constructing the 
State highways of Massachusetts, which 
in the recent International Congress at 
Paris were adjudged the best built roads 
in the world. 
NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. 
SUBSCRIBERS leaving the shore 
for their city homes should notify 
this office of their 
““ change of ad- 
dress’’ promptly, sending their 
present as well as new address. 
In the second paper of the session 
James A. MacDonald, the Highway 
Commissioner of Connecticut, will lay 
out plans for trunk lines of highways for 
New England. It is hoped that in the 
future logically laid out lines of State 
roads may be constructed running from 
one end of New England to the other, 
htus taking the place of the present in- 
coherent plans by which each state lays 
out its highways without any special con- 
nection with the highways of its neigh- 
bors. It is hoped that as a result of this 
conference long lines of model roads 
may be laid, for example, from Boston 
to Montreal and Quebec, from New 
York to Boston, and from Portland to 
Boston. 
The third and last paper of the session 
will be delivered by Hon. Nahum J. 
Bachelder, formerly Governor of the 
State of New Hampshire. Governor 
Bachelder is the Master of the National 
Grange and therefore speaks for the 
farmer as well as for the pleasure driver 
in his discussion of the regulation of 
automobiles. It is hoped to secure for 
all New England one uniform, reason- 
able law by which the regulation and, if 
possible, the taxation of these vehicles 
shall be the same in all the New England 
States. It is hoped to abolish traps and 
other unfair methods permitted by local 
legislation and to secure by reasonable 
law, that will be supported by public 
opinion, the safety of the highways as 
well as the protection of automobilists. 
Every Governor of New England has 
invited as delegates the Senators, Con- 
gressmen, lLieutenant-Governors, At- 
torneys-General, Presidents of Senates 
and Speakers of House of Representa- 
tives of his State. 
To this notable and unique gathering 
of statesmen now in office in New Eng- 
land will be added special delegates par- 
ticularly interested in the subject treated, 
selected at large by the Governors from 
the different states. 
Manchester is to be represented at the 
conference by one of its citizens, George 
Kimball, former superintendent of streets, 
who has been honored by Governor 
Guild in being selected as one of 32 del- 
egates representing the Commonwealth 
at large, at the conference, and_particu- 
larly the interests involved in the topics 
under discussion as regards highways. 
He has also been invited to attend the 
dinner to be given by Governor Guild at 
the Algonquin club at 6.30, Monday 
evening, tomeet the governors of New 
England and the speakers and delegates 
of the congress.
