Mayor elect Hibbard, fatigued from a hard campaign, sheds five pounds of flesh while stepping into duties. He traveled nightly across Boston in all weathers to win votes and now recovers from the campaign strain and recent sympathy. His right arm remains worn from the exertion and the press coverage.
A two day sequence of greetings greeted the Mayor-elect as he moved through the city. Crowds included milkmen, grocers, policemen, and the postmaster, all receiving a friendly smile and no pledges. The postmaster hosted a brief reception in the postoffice building before 9.00.
Former governor condemns government inaction against rich offenders and calls for public integrity. He argues authorities excuse malfeasance, warns against mob manipulation, and urges officials to trust voters while remaining vigilant for leaders who inflame crowds.
A six year old girl weakened by measles and pneumonia recovered after Vinci Vinol gave strength and appetite. The account from J W Flagg of Portland Maine notes the doctor approved the remedy. Vinol lauded as a cod liver extract with iron, offered with money back if unsatisfied at Boston Riker Jaynes stores.
In a Boston City Club address Vice President T. E. Byrnes of the New York New Haven & Hartford rail road urged building a modern low grade railroad to connect with Canadian lines and bring Northwest products to Boston. He argued Boston loses gateways to the West and terminals without strong trunk lines and public cooperation.
The speaker argues that uniting New England railroads could halve coal transport costs from southern ports by adopting a modern system for loading and unloading, suggesting substantial efficiency gains.
The speaker disputes claims of CP backing Boston and Maine, noting a joint small passenger line on the Canadian side from Farnham to Newport used solely for passenger traffic, not freight, and mentions prior acquisitions years earlier.
Canadian Pacific is negotiating to purchase Boston & Maine stock now held by New York New Haven & Hartford, and another large railroad has also made an offer. New Haven management will review the matter at tomorrow's New York directors meeting, though no advance is expected.
