Just think of it—a fire department 
horse spirited out of the city and Chief 
Robert H. Grant doesn’t know where 
it has gone. 
That’s a sensation that has set peo- 
ple talking all over town although it 
happened at the:Farms and has to do 
with old “Black Joe,’ one of the 
steamer horses. 
When the motor truck was installed 
at Hose Two it did away with the 
horses and there was a shift of horses 
and in the shift the Farms was taken 
care of. 
Then came the disappearance act. 
The man who was sent down with the 
Farms horses is said to have had or- 
ders to take the other one back but 
Chief Grant professes to know noth- 
ing of the deal and some members of 
' the fire committee say that no such 
vote was ever taken. But the horses 
went just the same. 
The horse was kept in a Beverly 
barn for a week and then shipped 
down to Maine to a brother-in-law of 
a Ryal Side man. 
Up to the present time the city 
council has not as yet been enriched 
with any money turned in for the sale 
of the horse by the fire committee 
of which alderman McPherson is 
chairman and some members of the

committee didn’t know anything about 
the deal, although the horse is gone 
and has been traced to a Maine farm. 
Now there promises to be an inves- 
tigation and the man who made the 
deal is likely to step into the fore- 
ground and explain how long since 
the city has been in the habit of giv- 
ing away or loaning fire department 
horses to do work on a Maine farm. 
There may be some interesting de- 
velopments.—Beverly Times.

Mayor MacDonaLp- INAUGURATED. 
Mayor Herman A. MacDonald, the 
youngest man ever elected as chief 
executive of Beverly, and a resident 
of Beverly Farms, was inaugurated as 
the twelfth mayor of the Garden City 
at noon last Monday. A somewhat 
stormy session of the Board of Alder- 
men followed the formal. inaugural 
program in which several measures 
which Mayor MacDonald brought to 
the attention of the aldermen were 
overlooked. The trend of the mayor’s 
inaugural address showed, however, 
that he has a thorough knowledge of 
the various departments of municipal 
administration, and despite the appar- 
ent opposition of some of the alder- 
manic board, will undoubtedly prove 
one of the most successful mayors that 
. Beverly has ever had. 
Rev. Clarence S. Pond offered the 
prayer at the inauguration, and the 
Beverly Farms band contributed se- 
veral selections to the program. 
The first meeting of the Beverly 
Board of Aldermen proved to be one 
of the liveliest sessions of that body 
held in years. Some of the aldermen 
seemed to entertain a decided animosi- 
ty toward Mr. MacDonald and twice 
forced him to take the floor in defence 
of measures which he had suggested 
in the course of his inaugural address. 
The questions which resulted in argu- 
ment were centered about some 
changes in committees which the may- 
or had outlined, and did not seem to 
be to the liking of the opposing alder- 
men. 
Several surprises were sprung on 
those interested in the minor elective 
offices. One was the election of Wil- 
liard B. Publicover on the Park Com- 
mission, the latter winning over Beu- 
jamin F. Hawkins, whe was a candi- 
date for re-election. Some of the 
other interesting changes were the 
election of John L,. Saltonstall, mem- 
ber of the water board for three years; 
Charles E. Riva on the board of as- 
sessors over Hervey Lunt, who had 
served for fifteen years, Dr. J. Wil- 
liam Voss elected on the board of 
health over Dr. Whitman G. Stickney 
who was a candidate for re-election. 
One of the recommendations of 
Mayor MacDonald was that the clerk 
of committees be abolished, but Alder- 
men Blaisdell, Brown, Lane, Hull and 
McPherson thought otherwise and 
elected William A. Lee, who has since 
resigned. 
Guy C. Richards has been named by 
the mayor as city solicitor in place of 
Alfred E. Lunt. 
The regular meetings of the board 
are to be held on the second and 
fourth Mondays in the month.
