Athol Water Gas Bill Moves in House Morning Session

The Town of Athol may use water gas under a bill that passed the House after Senate approval. Lawmakers spent most of yesterday’s session on amendments, rejected all, feared wider risk on return to the Senate, and set a Monday morning session. The Senate agenda showed little public interest as the treasury committee returned the Shanly resolve without recommendation.

Debated resolutions shape legislature over Carr case and rail bill

The calendar focused on Patrick Carr's resolve with senators clashing over precedent and pay. Debate touched on railway consolidation with amendments limiting fares, time limits for tunnels, and council authority, as lawmakers push for engrossment and further readings amid partisan exchanges.

Lawmakers Pass Transit and Gas Bills Amid Debate and Votes

The House debated rapid transit for Chelsea and fare fairness with votes on 5-cent fare amendments, tunnelling provisions, and related financial interests. A second bill to license gas supply with over 10 percent carbonic oxide was engrossed after broad support and few objections. Also approved were several engrossed resolutions concerning military property loans and related claimants.

Walt Whitman Cottage Fund Gains Noted Irish Support

John Boyle O'Reilly serves as treasurer after newspapers named him to the role. Subscriptions pour in from Papyrus Club members and others, boosting the fund toward a seaside cottage for Whitman. Plans with Frank Hill Smith to design a fitting, simple home emerge as the effort nears $600. The Whitman chapter recalls his Boston visit in 1841 and the literary connections to Oscar Wilde, with mentions of editions and a 1855 Brooklyn NY imprint. The piece closes with a note praising the Revere House cooking as unmatched in America at modest prices.
