The report notes aging crossings under rain and cold threaten comfort and decorum for pedestrians. Geoffrey P. Rogers, formerly purser on the White Star Romantic, visits Boston and reconnects with friends. Joseph Mettau of Brockton owns a Heidelberg pipe said to smoke all night once filled, once owned by Max Deurve for valor on the battlefield. The Frick art collection at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts keeps doors open late due to high visitor interest. The Theodore Parker Church in West Roxbury is called an eyesore and urged for improvement.
