SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1907. 
A new fog whistle operated by a 
22-horse power engine, taking the 
place of the old fog bell, has just been 
installed at Baker’s Island. 
The refusal of the Board of Alder- 
men of Beverly on Wednesday evening 
to grant the Smith’s Express Co., of 
Manchester, a “ pony express ”’ license 
is we consider a gross injustice and 
discrimination, as this company has for 
many years conducted from this part 
of the North Shore a strictly legiti- 
mate business. The company has a 
very large percent. of the patronage of 
the Farms people, both regular resi- 
dents and the summer residents. The 
people of Beverly Farms justly feel 
that it is not only fair and proper to 
treat all express companies alike, but 
for the accommodation of the people 
this concern should get fair treatment 
and be granted this license. It might 
be stated that the license was granted 
on Monday evening with others, but 
Wednesday it was reconsidered and 
the vote to grant the license was a tie 
Alderman Hodgkins of Beverly Farms 
is to be congratulated upon his efforts 
to secure equal rights and also give to 
the Farms the accommodations which 
the people here feel should not be re- 
stricted, and it is hoped that when the 
board meets next week justice will be 
done and that this company will be 
granted equal privileges that are en- 
joyed by their competitors, 
“STATE HOUSE GOSSIP 
The Supreme Court of the Com- 
monwealth sent to the Senate on 
Tuesday its opinion on the Shoe 
Machinery Bill, so-called. The bill 
was decided to be constitutional by a 
divided court, five of the Justices 
concurring in the opinion that the 
bill was constitutional and two dis- 
senting. 
The bill in question is aimed at the 
United Shoe Machinery and provides 
that, <‘No person, firm, corporation 
or association doing business in this 
Commonwealth shall make it a condi- 
tion of a sale or lease of machinery 
tbat the purchaser or lessee shall not 
buy, lease or use the machinery of 
any other person, firm, corporation or 
association, provided that nothing in 
this act shall be construed to prohibit 
the appointment of agents or sole 
agents for the sale or lease of machin- 
ery.’ The second section provides 
that in case of a violation of this act 
the party guilty will be subject to a 
fine of five thousand dollars, and for a 
second offence the right to revoke its 
charter. 
This practically puts the bill in the 
same position as it was before being 
referred to the Supreme Court. If 
the opinion had been adverse to the 
bill, it would, of course, have been the 
end to the whole subject. The effect 
of the opinion on the measure, if any, 
is to give a little prestige to the sup- 
porters of the bill. The governor on 
Thursday sent to the House of Rep- 
presentatives the third veto of the 
year. The measure which did not 
meet with His Excellency’s approval 
was a bill entitled, “An Act Relative 
to the Exemption of Certain Substi- 
tute and Call Members of Fire De- 
partments from Civil Service Rules.’ 
Lake-Croft Inn 
The Senate this week ordered to a 
third reading the bill which provided 
for the joint use of tracks by electric 
railroads. This is the bill which Sen- 
ator Linehan of Boston claimed Sena- 
tor Shaw of Manchester had no right 
to vote on, but President Chapple of 
the Senate did not uphold the senator 
from Boston, saying it was a general 
bill and not a special bill inasmuch as 
it applies to all railroads in the Com- 
monwealth. 
The bill which gave preference to 
veterans of the Spanish-Americar war 
of 15 per cent. in all civil service ex- 
aminations was defeated in the Senate 
by a vote of 16 to 15,
