NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Mayor Foster INAUGURATED 
Mayor Harry C. Foster, the first 
manin years which Magnolia has 
sent to Gloucester City hall as chief 
executive of the city of Gloucester, 
was inaugurated on Monday of this 
week. All records for the handling of 
the various orders which came up in 
the first day’s business of the muni- 
cipal council were broken, adjourn- 
ment taking place at 11.15 o’clock. 
Many ladies were in attendance at the 
inaugural exercises and there was a 
large attendance of voters. 
One of the signs of progression in 
the mayor’s office was the substitution 
of new furniture and carpets for the 
antiquated fittings which have adorned 
the office for several years. 
Many of the associates of Mayor 
Foster when he was a member of the 
engineering department of Boston 
several years ago attended the inaugu- 
ration, and in company with a num- 
ber of personal friends of the May- 
or and the members of the municipal 
council, were entertained at dinner at 
the Hotel Savoy. 
Among the party in addition to the 
aldermen, city messenger, and press 
representatives, were -Mrs. Amelia 
Foster of Magnolia, the mayor’s 
mother; Mrs. Harry C. Foster, his 
brother, Edward S. Foster; Mrs. Ed- 
ward S. Foster, Edward S. Foster, Jr.

TAKING SAND From 
BEACH 
Several important recommenda- 
tions are contained in the report of 
the State Board of Harbor and Land 
Commissioners, presented to the Leg- 
islature last Friday. The most, far- 
reaching of these is one that the com- 
mission be given jurisdiction over all 
non-tidal rivers and streams in the 
Commonwealth. Others are that any 
person convicted of taking or remov- 
ing any stones, gravel, sand or other 
material from any beach shore, bluff, 
headland, island or bar in or border- 
ing on any tide waters shall be pun- 
ished by fine of not less than $20 
nor more than $200; that the commis- 
sion be authorized to make a survey 
of the great ponds of the Common- 
wealth, containing IO or more acres 
of land, and ascertain to what extent 
they have been encroached upon by
