Lynn Coal Club's $500 Forfeit Prompts Monopoly Scheme
The Lynn Coal Club uses deposits to enforce price agreements on coal, echoing Boston’s conspiracies. Records were burned to destroy evidence, while testimony from secretary William C. Holder supports the claims. Officials urge formal indictments for restraint of trade and extortion. The piece also criticizes Chelsea street department's snow removal and municipal retaliation against streetcars as counterproductive.

Accessible Parks for Boston Vision Promotes 5-Cent Fare Plan
The metropolitan park system is urged to become truly public by letting residents reach green spaces like Middlesex Fells Blue Hills and Lynn Woods for a 5 cent fare or less. It argues that current access favors carriage riders and the wealthy, wasting a valuable city asset. The proposal, while debating Senator Dyar's railway plan, should be reviewed by park commissioners.
