Modesty from William Leahy of South Boston, former secretary to Mayor John F. Fitzgerald, spurred hundreds of inquiries about the publication A Little Book for Immigrants in Boston, which has earned praise and admiration.
A noted writer, Leahy, is not listed on about 5000 copies of the first edition and will likely be omitted from the forthcoming edition printed soon. He is a Harvard graduate of 1888 and has worked with the city music committee arranging summer band concerts. He is described as modest in manner.
The latest work, selected by the committee on Americanism, garners editorial praise and heavy demand. Thomas A. Mullen and Edwin Creed are noted for their roles, with Mayor Peters praising the author. The committee plans translations into four languages likely to include Yiddish Italian Armenian and Polish for immigrant readers.
Yesterday marked the coldest August 23 since 1888 with a low around 5.65 degrees and autumnal gusts across the city. The day featured intermittent chilly spells as residents braced for a cooler season ahead.
Light frost gripped rural areas with fears of crop damage. Cape Cod stations recorded near freezing temperatures and Cape Cod cranberry bogs faced frost though farmers prepared. Forecasters expect little change in temps today with minimal cranberry losses.
An announcement from Fredericton New Brunswick dated August 23 states the proposed Eastern Maine Railway will connect Maine with Canada the project aims to link regional rail networks and boost cross border trade and transit options.
Canadian interests will build a connecting link from the St John Valley line near Pohick to the Maine border linking with American plans to extend to the Maine Central line near Danforth Maine.
Ben Porter of Jolliston claims he did not know his touring car contained 12 one gallon tins of whiskey found by City Point police. Authorities say Porter mourns both the loss of his car and the missed opportunity amid the hooch discovery.
A man in Wellesley named Porter hired a driver to move tinned liquor to City Point. The driver, stopped on Strandway by patrolman Keegan with a search warrant, was found sitting on about $500 worth of prewar whiskey. He faces court today, bail set, car held by federal officers.
