VOLUME 5. NUMBER 22 
SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1907. 
Gloucester people are making a try 
for an express train between that city 
and Boston, to leave Gloucester about 
8 a.m., and leave Boston on the return 
about 5p.m. A hearing on the mat- 
ter was held at the office of the rail- 
road commissioners in Boston Wednes- 
day. morning. 
It is not at all unlikely that Presi- 
dent Roosevelt will come to Glouces- 
ter this summer to attend the unveil- 
ing of the permanent memorial to the 
first settlers of Cape Ann at Stage 
Fort park, on Aug. 15. ‘Gloucester 
Day,” by the way, will be quite the 
event of the summer at our neighbor- 
ing city. 
The Schofield gratuity bill, which 
provides for the giving of $125 to each 
veteran of the Civil War who had 
never received a bounty, now seems 
assured of a passage through the state 
senate. Though the ways and means 
committee” reported adversely on the 
bill, when the question of whether or 
not it should be rejected came up in 
the Senate'this week, there was a very 
decided vote in the negative. 
According to the apportionment of 
county taxes as made by the County 
Commissioners for the current year, 
Manchester will pay $16,481.01,— 
more than any other town in the 
county. The next town in amount of 
assessment is Peabody, which is 
assessed some $6,000 less than Man- 
chester. Only six cities in the county 
contribute more. These are in the 
order of their contribution: Lynn, 
Lawrence, Salem, Haverhill, Beverly 
and -Gloucester, the last named city 
contributing something less than 
$8,000 more than the town of Man- 
chester.

eS NE DE Sa oe 
This year’s Legislature seems to 
think that the best way out of a diffi- 
cult legislative problem is to authorize 
the appointment of a commission to 
investigate and report to the next 
General Court. Thus far, the Legis- 
lature has authorized the appointment 
of the following commissions: Com- 
mission on State House extension ; 
commission on labor law ; commission 
on municipal docks; commission on 
fire insurance ; commission on taxa- 
tion ; commission on boiler inspection 
rules, and commission to investigate 
financial condition of the city of 
Boston. 
The Ross amendment was defeated 
on reconsideration, and the Shoe 
Machinery bill passed the house in its 
original draft. 
The Democrats of the Senate intro- 
duced an anti-merger bill to prevent 
the expected merger of the Boston 
& Maine and the New York, New 
Haven & Hartford railroads. This, 
of course, is a political move, made in 
order to have some political capital 
next fall. They forgot, however, in 
their enthusiasm, that it really was a 
detriment instead of a help to the 
Democratic party, inasmuch as Mr. 
Whitney, one of the prime movers for 
the merger, is, in all probability, to be 
the Democratic candidate for governor 
this fall. There was an attempt to 
recover the bill when this dawned on 
them, but it. was unsuccessful. The 
hearing on this matter was given be- 
fore the Rules Committee, as the time 
had passed for the introduction of new 
business. The committee has not as 
yet reported on the matter. 
Gov. Guild was sustained in his veto 
of the Clerks of Courts bill by a vote

Want Another Train 
A‘number of people from Glouces- 
ter appeared before the railroad com- 
missioners Wednesday, asking that 
the B. & M. R.R. be obliged to put 
on an additional express train each 
way, between Boston and Gloucester. 
They argue that service is faster be- 
tween Boston and Haverhill, New- 
buryport, Taunton and several other 
cities of the same class as Gloucester. 
The railroad officials say that such a 
train would interfere materially with 
the present train service and that the 
number of passengers to Magnolia is 
larger in the summer than to Glouces- 
ter, and that many of these get on at 
any way stations rather than at 
Boston.
